Some sweet embroidery for the 2nd printing of my chapbook, Ghost Mom. Seriously grateful to Stanchion Books and everyone who has bought a copy so far. If you haven’t yet bought a copy, you can do so here: Stanchion Books.
All credit to my partner for this dope embroidery.

A little outside tea with your Ghost Mom.
Tis true. My debut chapbook, Ghost Mom, has been published by the wonderful Stanchion Books. If you’ve ever thought to yourself I love the odd couple, but where is all the existential doom and sadness, Ghost Mom might be for you! Click here to purchase a copy.

Advanced Praise for Ghost Mom.
"Sometimes we're haunted by the living. Sometimes by the lost. In this beautiful chapbook from the wondrous T Guzman, we are introduced to a character who is being haunted by the ghost of their mother in ways both expected and unexpected. Every story of this pair is poignant. Insightful. Stunning. And also somehow familiar, as if we are looking through a window and seeing ourselves looking back. T Guzman has been a secret favorite of mine from one of the first stories I read. I'm excited that he won't be a secret much longer." - Cathy Ulrich, author of Small Burning Things
"Ghost Mom is an otherworldly hand on your forearm guiding you through grief, dating, family relationships, and loneliness. Guzman’s novella-in-flash commiserates with readers about the difficulty of navigating through a world with people who are more or less easy to touch. I’ll be returning to this book, and to Guzman’s gentle, insightful voice, again and again." - Jennifer A. Howard, editor-in-chief of Passages North

My thesis has been officially accepted and needs no revisions.
And in other lit journal news, I’m now the twitter personality of Longleaf Review!
That is all. I should really stop napping so much.

PS: I wrote a book. Like an actual book with pages in it with words and everything.
I still exist. My thesis takes up all my time. It’s snowing again and gets dark too early.

I have a new piece of CNF up at Lammergeier. You should read it.

The name of the piece is On Gummy Bears—Things Necessary and Unnecessary. Check it out here:

The second of my two cat themed notebooks. They are glorious.
Snow is on the ground. It is cold.

PS. This post has nothing to do with this righteous book cover.
By that I mean doing laundry and working on literary theory. I live a life of excess.

Grad school takes up a lot of time. Here's an image of one of two Cat notebooks I bought.

Cover Art: Arnie Kohn
Like many writers, I'm writing a novel. Big whoop indeed. It's of the meddling kids variety. Thus I've been on the lookout for Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew like books. The cover art is always exquisite.

Faith Issue 1 Vertigo Comics. Art and Writing: Ted McKeever
I don't really ever know what to do with blogs, so this will probably be an extension of my twitter feed. A slightly longer tweet if you will. Lists. Random comic book image scans that I seem to be making for reasons that I've yet to figure out. Music. Vintage Book Covers. Whatever.
And of course, links to publications and such. I am a writer afterall.
