Hurricane Pastoral, a new poetry collection. Sundress Publications, January 2027.

In rather large news, I’ve accepted an offer for the Kenyon Review Fellowship! Following in the footsteps of writers like Flannery O’Connor, W.S. Merwin, James Wright, Natalie Shapero, Keith S. Wilson, and Molly McCully Brown, I’ll live in Gambier, OH, where I’ll pursue my own writing projects […]

As America burns, I’m experiencing a moment of gratitude and joy—I’ve received a PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant to support my translation of Alexandra Bernhardt’s German poetry. In the dark, we find human connection and make art.

I currently have room in my schedule for a few more freelance clients. Let me know if you or someone you love wants to navigate the perils and joys of a book project together! I work with folks on their novels, poetry collections, grant applications, academic writing, and a few other odds and ends.

It’s 2016. I just started at MFA. I’m writing poetry about crows, and I’m very afraid of dying.
