Residing in the best city in the world, CHICAGO, Sam has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Tennessee and was the recipient of a 2022 Pushcart Prize. They have published four chapbooks, most recently Love that For Us, a collaboration with Chen Chen, with & Change Press. He co-founded and edits Underblong. Sam has recent work in Electric Literature, Third Coast, and Puerto del Sol, among others. They can be found in the cheese aisle of most stores, in the middle of a hug, or editing poems at your local coffee shop.
LOVE!! THAT!! FOR!!!! US!!!!
Do you love to love things for yourself and others?? Diva, read LOVE THAT FOR US! A fully collaboratively written chapbook with my best friend, Chen Chen. These co-written, co-fever-dreamt poems explore the magique of queer friendship, the hot sorcery of sonic frictions, the tragicomedy of homophobic collisions, and the pizza of Portland, Oregon (where many of these poems were co-composed). Above all, this chapbook relishes in a shared belief of radiant play.
