Call for Feature Essays About Any Aspect of Popular Culture, Present or Past

Kyle Deas

Kyle Deas grew up in Healdsburg, California, but he now lives in New York City.  He was recently a bit dismayed to find himself a college graduate, and plans to go get a postgraduate degree just as soon as he figures out what he wants to do with his life.  He has been writing for PopMatters since 2008, and blogs as often as he can remember to.
