I’m still completely obsessed with weird video games (Dark Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, the Secret World--actually, one of the poems is about Dark Souls) and the idea that there’s always some kind of secret in the world peering at you from behind a corner, something you know is there but can’t quite touch. I’m currently reading Canto a su amor desaparecido by Raul Zurita and The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. Currently finishing up a manuscript of poems, working on http://seventhproject.weebly.com/, and trying to figure out how to write a graphic novel. Eric Steifel Michael Zuch In the last year I have fallen in love with the band The Oh Hellos. They are a band that I really don’t get tired of. Everytime I listen to their music I notice something new. Their music makes you think and have a magical way of being relatable to anyone. Michael Gungor is one of my personal heroes in terms of music-making. In his book, which is hilarious by the way, he challenges the music industry and what it means to be Christian and an artist.
