Cam is the founder and lead organizer of PoetTreeTown, a monthlong celebration of April Poetry Month and a free public installation of original poems by community writers in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan — now in its third year.

Current projects include a queer novella featuring magical oil spills, a speculative historical novel involving sentient bombs and Butoh dance, a manuscript of surreal poetic instructions about body dysmorphia and decay,  a series of vignettes about a body farm, and something not-quite-story-shaped involving skin.
