S/he is a nationally certified EMT and in the summer, s/he leads wilderness trips for Outward Bound. TC was selected as Tucson’s Poet Laureate in 2017.

III. DEADLINES & SUBMISSIONS
Wallop is a brand new, independently produced zine out of Appleton, WI. Each issue will have a different theme, represented from a variety of perspectives. Wallop will appear in print and is now seeking submissions for the first issue.
Here is the link to the website: https://www.wallopzine.com/
The editors are looking for poems, personal accounts, short stories, comics, and work that blurs the lines between genres or doesn’t easily fit into one of these categories. You could send a description of your favorite outfit in third grade, or a list of your favorite places to hang out in high school, or a poem made from old journal entries. The priority for the first issue is that the submission be representative of some aspect of growing up in Northeastern Wisconsin. They can refer to that experience either directly or indirectly. We are also looking for artwork: drawings, black and white photos, doodles. They will all be reproduced in black and white, so high contrast is best.
