He is the recipient of a creative writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. His writing has been included in Ploughshares,[1] The Best American Poetry 1994, The Best American Poetry 2010, and The New Young American Poets, as well as on the National Endowment for the Arts website.

A compilation of selected poems, Katostrophenkunde, was translated into German by Ron Winkler and published in 2006.[3]
