The literary journal, Cirque, published my short story "Distance Learning". The story takes place in the Republic in Georgia and follows the conflict between international development and local need through an American teaching English. You can read the piece here.

On top of this being my first fiction publication (but not fictional publication), this piece received the Andy Hope Award for writing in the spirit of social justice and compassion. I'm both excited and humbled to receive this award named for a prominent Tlingit Alaskan activist.

Great job, man! Congratulations! I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was reminded a bit of this story a bit: http://www.dvice.com/archives/2012/10/ethiopian_kids.php
