Carrigan, author of forthcoming JUNK) and “fabulous, in every sense… quick and sharp, full of charms that whisk us into the darkest forests of the human experience” (Baynard Woods, author of Inheritance: an Autobiography of Whiteness). Budenz has fiction and poetry in print journals including Assaracus and Slipstream, zeitgeisty online journals including Taco Bell Quarterly and Wussy Mag, and anthologies by Mason Jar Press, Unbound Edition, and more.
