I’m a writer in New York City and a psychoanalyst in formation at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) in Greenwich Village.

My creative work explores the intersection of reading, language, literature, translation, psychoanalysis, and creative process.

Over on Process Notes, I write about revisiting the books that shaped my creative and psychoanalytic practice, and the slow, circling process of revealing.

I host a podcast called Reading Around the Margins where I talk with writers, readers, translators, publishers, and booksellers about how they interact with their books as objects; how their own marginalia consciously or unconsciously informs the books they come to write; and how the experience of reading brings a book into existence

I am the Editor of Extra-Analytic: Creative Readings for Psychoanalytic Perspectives.

My next book, Marginalia: An Autobiography, will be published by Autofocus in September 2025. An excerpt from an early version of this project was published by Sundog Lit.

I wrote a novel about reading in translation and the gaps in understanding between people called Subjects We Left Out, published by Veliz Books in 2021.

I wrote a short book of free associations that take place on train rides called Trainsongs, published by Greying Ghost in 2020.

Here is a sample of my other creative work:

• on mirrors, photographs, memories, and self-investigations

• on (re)creating rooms on film

• on Bruno Schulz and early childhood memories

• on taking the Wallace Stevens Walk in Connecticut

• on letter-writing

• on leaving California

• on fucking up and getting lost

• on always being bent out of shape

• on the shadow of a memory
