(re)lapsed poet / winemaker / jack of some trades
mostly poetry / some wine stuff / a dog or two / hopefully not too much politics
Sacramento CA
Seattle-based writer of journalism, criticism, progressive economics and politics pieces, and comic books. Snelson, my comic with Fred Harper was a New York Public Library Best Adult Comic selection for 2022. Email: thisispaulconstant at gmail dot com.
Poet, pedestrian.
My book WHAT TO CARRY INTO THE FUTURE (Roof, 2025) emerged from riding every NYC subway end-to-end. A love letter to the city, it charts joy amidst catastrophe.
