This blog is a personal space where I do stuff. It is not associated with my employer in any way. Nor is it associated with the James Bond franchise, rain forests, or television shows I don’t like. I often go by Sad Iron and love sad irons because they appear in The Sound and the Fury and I had no idea what the heck “asbestos” meant in that context until I walked into an antique store.
Here is the cold, lifeless 3rd-person bio I send out with my poems:
