I am a poetry performance artist, and writer of speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and poetry. I perform with the group Seadog Slam, and sometimes as a solo act, at pirate, renaissance, and steampunk festivals, and other events as Lars Shortshanks the Pirate Poet. I am available to perform at private events, parties, and other events with the Seadog Slam crew or as a solo performer.
