ABOUT THE EDITOR

Dead Mall Press is run by me, R.M. Haines. You can find recent work of mine in Here, Mercury Firs, Noir Sauna, Resources (at Blue Bag Press), Capgras, The Tiny, and Works & Days. Recent collections include Interrogation Days (October ‘24), Parking Lot Horizon (May ‘25) and Travis (June ‘25).

You can also find a variety of my essays and poems through my blog, Out of Its Wooden Brain. 

FWIW I grew up in a rural, southwestern Ohio town of about 3,000 people. I left Ohio in 2003 and have since lived in California, Texas, and Indiana (moving around mostly for grad school). In the summer of 2024, I returned to Ohio (the Dayton area), where I make ends meet as an adjunct instructor at an online university and community college.
