I’m a writer, poet and experimental DJ. My essays and criticism about visual art, music, literature, film, queer people, gay sex, leftist politics and my life have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Nation, The New Republic, the Village Voice, the Los Angeles Times and Pitchfork, among many other publications and also anthologies. I’m an Adjunct Assistant Professor of creative writing at Columbia University and of journalism at CUNY’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

I’m queer and I help organize with the Freelance Solidarity Project of the National Writers Union, where I am particularly active in the cultural critics working group. Here’s my Twitter, my Bluesky and my Instagram.

My short stories and poems have appeared in a number of literary magazines, and in 2019 I published a novella in The Puritan (now known as The Ex-Puritan). I have received awards, fellowships and residencies from The Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, CATWALK Institute, Creatives Rebuild New York, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, among other institutions. I am a 2024 finalist for the Irving Sandler Award For New Voices in Art Criticism, presented by AICA-USA, and a finalist for the Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation Grant for Writing On Sculpture.

A novel, an essay collection and a poetry collection are in the works. Stay tuned.
