I am working on a long-term writing project (slogging through the research and first-draft stage) and haven’t had a chance to blog recently. But I wanted to point out that an essay I wrote, The Schoolyard Chase, appears in the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of South85 Journal, an online literary magazine. The piece chronicles a shameful incident from my youth, when I blurted out a racial epithet on the grounds of DeWitt Clinton elementary school in my hometown of Rome, New York. You can read the story here.
