Bio
In this writing workshop I'm exploring various short forms, often from a comic angle. My interests include politics and culture; the human comedy; old and new media; social theory and urban ethnography; the commercialization and tabloidization of everything; Unitarianism (UU); coffee; and writing (sorry, I mean providing content). Turtle stamp is from Tandy Leather. Interested in republishing a piece? Contact drigney3@gmail.com.
