Some of his favorite writers include Carson McCullers, Truman Capote and James Baldwin, as well as Denis Johnson and Junot Diaz.His first novel, No Place, Louisiana (2002), was published by Riverhead Books, and it told the story of a Cajun family and an American dream gone wrong. The novel won acclaim from Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Cunningham and the Los Angeles Times, and it was a finalist for the John Gardner Book Award in Fiction.His first collection of poetry, Sugar (2005), was published by Suspect Thoughts Press, and it centered on the lives of outsiders, especially Cajuns, Southerners and gay men. Some of the poems also dealt with racism and the AIDS epidemic. The collection was praised by Alfred Corn and Jake Shears, and it was named a finalist for the 2006 Lambda Literary Awards for Poetry. He says that this collection would not have ever been published if it were not for a friend's saved copy of the manuscript. In 2005, he was named one of the Leading Men of the Year by Instinct magazine, alongside Jake Shears, Robert Gant, and Keith Boykin.His stories, essays, and poems have appeared in Epoch, StoryQuarterly, The Rattling Wall, Parnassus, ISLE: Oxford Journals, Icon, Chaparral, Verse Daily, Intersection, Love, Bourbon Street, The Louisiana Review, New Orleans Review, and Cimarron Review.He has taught at Columbia University in New York City, at Rutgers University in New Jersey and at Loyola University New Orleans. He is currently Associate Professor of English at California State University, Northridge, in Los Angeles. He teaches in the Creative Writing Program and the Queer Studies Program, and some of his most popular courses include Narrative Writing, Advanced Narrative Writing, Theories of Fiction, and Gay Male Writers.He was named a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts in Creative Writing for 2014. The NEA grant was awarded through the federal Art Works program for a collection of short stories in development titled "Black Sheep Boy."
