Shya Scanlon's "Portrait of the Oughtist"

Shya Scanlon asked me to write an alternate ending to his beautiful story, "Portrait of the Oughtist"- you can read it at Hobart's website. The story is in the new issue of Hobart- buy the issue here. Thanks, Shya, for writing such a great story and for letting me participate.

And here is a video of me reading a poem from Shya's collection, In This Alone Impulse, which you can buy here (or on amazon).
