About
Shannon Tharp reporting.
The condensed deal: I study library science, work in archives, and write. As of late, I divide my time unevenly among Seattle, WA, Missoula, MT, and Gillette, WY.
My writing can be found in Each Real Bird (The Elliott Press, 2006), Determined by Aperture, (Fewer & Further, 2008), and The Cost of Walking (Skysill Press, 2011). Forthcoming are Quarry (Calaveras), and Vertigo in Spring (The Cultural Society).

Take a look at what CUNY’s Urban Research team unearthed about Manhattan’s West Village which was pitched as “not a neighborhood for artists and writers” (mind you, rents there are now $3,000 and up).

"Then the poem shits to death."
It’s been brought to my attention that I may be unscented.
This, according to the ever credible Urban Dictionary.
"To assign unanswered letters their proper weight, to free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home."
