I guess an introduction is as good a place to start as any. I’m Brian Spears. I’ve been a poetry editor at The Rumpus since it went live in 2009, and I published a collection of poems back in 2011 titled A Witness in Exile with Louisiana Literature Press. I have some copies in my closet if anyone is interested. :-)
Congrats on this new journey in your life!
I freaking LOVE that movie they made of your poem. It's so funny, and also much more than funny. Kinda like you! :D
