As a general assignment reporter, I never know what's going to land on my plate. The journalistic landscape changes from hour to hour, minute to minute. But every so often a story will stick in my head, and turn into a poem, or an essay. That's what you'll see here: poems, essays, or whatever form I think is right as I attempt, on a sporadic basis, to transcribe various slices of reality. -Carl Stevens
