My third book of poems is coming out with Gordon Hill Press in spring 2026! It’s a book of minimalist experimental poetry about the emotional wounds love and illness have the capacity to inflict. And the housing of those wounds in the archive of the body.
Pre-orders now available. Link in my bio 🙏❤️
