Biography

My book Chains & Mirrors (NCWN/Harperprints) won the 2006 Randall Jarrell Poetry Prize and the 2007 Oscar Arnold Young Award(Best North Carolina poetry collection). The White Book was released by Main St. Rag Publishing in 2008. I received Kakalak's 2006 Poetry Prize and my full-length ms., Fear of Moving Water, a recent finalist for The Brittingham and Pollak, Dorset, The Tupelo Open, Lena-Miles Wever Todd and Philip Levine Prizes, will be released by Wind Publications in late 2009. My poems have appeared or are upcoming in a number of national journals and anthologies, including The Missouri Review, Arts & Letters, The Connecticut Review, Nimrod, Seattle Review and Meridian's Best New Poets 2007. A native Scot, I live in Chapel Hill, NC, with my Celtic fondness for excess, my dangling participles, my wife Tristi and Mischa, The Wonder Dog.
