His research and creative work spans fiction (literary, historical, experimental), travel writing, travel literature scholarship, poetry and poetics, and transgressive literature. His recent novel, Brave in Season (2023), explores racial tensions in 1950s Nebraska through the lens of a fictional African American railroad crew.
Volkmer’s publications in outlets like Parnassus, Commonweal, and Cimarron Review reflect his broad interest in narrative forms that intersect with social history and personal transformation. His work often engages themes of displacement, vocation, and the redemptive power of literature.
