PancakeSushi

Co-Editor

Mike, writing under the pen name PancakeSushi, is a poet, writer and voracious reader whose literary interests extend across genres and forms. He sees writing not as a collection of separate disciplines, but as different expressions of the same creative impulse, each beginning with an idea around which language takes shape.

His artistic philosophy extends beyond literature, embracing the intersections between creative disciplines and the possibilities that emerge when established forms meet, overlap and evolve into something new.
