A few years back financial exigency drove me to, for a little while, write for non-New Orleans publications.
I had a book-review column (with my own cute author portrait) for The Brooklyn Paper and I contributed literary criticism & fatalistic observation to various queer and anarchist entities. For example:
- Mask Magazine: Death and the Midden
- Plenitude Magazine: Overwriting Erasure: A Review of Nia King’s Queer and Trans Artists of Color
- Slingshot Quarterly: No Lifeguard on Duty
After a well-received piece on pro wrestling for a now-defunct magazine called The Classical I was invited to contribute to VICE. I wrote for their print magazine– the “Scams” issue, which I can no longer find any trace of online– and then a half-dozen intensely remunerative pieces for their online presence. Two I feel have merit are below:
