Music writing

My latest piece for Waxwing is by far my most personal. I’m looking at Joni Mitchell’s music and how it remains a bridge to my mother nine years after her death.

R.E.M.’s 1994 single signaled a new direction for the band at the height of their popularity, and revived a mystery about one of the strangest crimes of the 1980’s.

My first outing as music editor for Waxwing Literary Journal is about one of New Orleans’ best, and most unique bands.
