Welcome, You Weirdos.
Can you believe it? I have my own website, and you’re on it. I don’t understand how any of this happened, either.
It’s good to see you today.
Dennis Vogen is a writer, artist, graphic designer, musician, poet, and definitely not several squirrels in a human costume, who uses pop culture and his own work to talk too much about stuff we don’t talk too much about, like addiction, sobriety, loss, grief, pain, anxiety, joy, hope, and creativity.
He’s been publishing since 2013, releasing fourteen books while also being featured in several anthologies. He’s an active blogger and overactive oversharer; an unfortunate practitioner of radical empathy.
Creator of Maple Island, Cold World, Theia, Jojo, Brushfire, The Weirdos, Flip & Push, Them + Us, Time is a Solid State, Sunny Days of Rain, and more. Lives in Minnesota.

Apparently, I’m the type who just wants to keep learning stuff: I’m now enrolled and working through a course to earn a certification in meditation teaching. This is a practice that’s become an important part of my life and I want to beContinue reading “Meditation Students Wanted”
