J. Chris Rock feels lucky to have been featured in The Science Creative Quarterly, Opium, Barrelhouse, Hobart and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and is equally humbled and giddy about upcoming work in publications including Cimarron Review and Wild Blue Yonder (the in-flight magazine of Fronter Airlines). He can be found with all the kids and their loud rock and roll music at www.myspace.com/gladyouasked.
