About the work: “I was so excited to see a place where my experimental writing could be actually considered. I think of my most recent work as “daring,” “unorthodox,” even “a space of disruption,” and was thrilled to see such words as a central core of Inverted Syntax. These experimental adventures have included inserts of music, symbols, a movie clip, emoji’s, drawings, graphs, and handwriting. I want to engage the reader on as many fronts as possible.”
