What is Scurf?

Writing long and short. There are not just essays they are deflections, fragments, and entanglements where I try to thread a needle, one topic at a time. These are mostly just for me, as I try to figure things out. But through these acutely personal musings, I am also finding meaning and creating space for you readers: friends, acquaintances and strangers. These posts are me in parenthesis, digressions where I try to piece myself together for me, before you. Sometimes they are longer than those long nights, and others, shorter than a sigh. I do feel shy and uncomfortable at the thought of sending some of these out, and maybe will put those weirder ones behind a paywall soon too.

My essays have been published on The Atlantic, 3AM Magazine, LA Review of Books, Aeon, Pen Transmissions, Lit Hub, Public Books, Frieze, Electric Literature, Popula, Art Review, etc.
