POETRY

I write about home, the politics of disaster, and being from a place and in a body that both live under threat. My work appears in wildness, ONLY POEMS, Salvation South, Delta Poetry Review, Boudin, and elsewhere. I also have poems forthcoming in The Rumpus, The Penn Review, wildness, and Foglifter.

My debut collection, Tooth Gaps in the Archives, won the 2025 Button Poetry First Book Award and was a finalist for the 2025 St. Lawrence Book Award. It is forthcoming from Button Poetry in their fall 2026 catalog. My poem “Subsidence” is nominated by January House for a 2026 Pushcart Prize in Poetry. My poem “A Body in Public” was chosen by Salvation South Editor-in-Chief Chuck Reece as his favorite of the year.
