My name is Aaron Gilbreath. I’m an essayist, journalist and housesitter. I’ve written essays for The New York Times, Paris Review, Oxford American, Kenyon Review, Tin House, Virginia Quarterly Review, The Threepenny Review, Black Warrior Review, Brick, AGNI and Gettysburg Review. My essay “Dreams of the Atomic Era,” from the Cincinnati Review, is a Notable Essay in Best American Essays 2011. You can find an excerpt from my Link Wray-themed novel, “Run Chicken Run,” at storySouth. Future Tense Publishing released my chapbook, A Secondary Landscape, this winter, and Thought Catalog published my eBook, The Stoned Age. I’m deep into music, tea, literature, regional foods, travel and the natural world. Right now I’m working on a first-person book of travel writing set in Canada, called Canphilia, and I’m probably eating a burrito. You can find me on Facebook and Twitter, and contact me at prowlinggilamonster AT gmail DOT com
