book of lullabies (Milk & Cake Press, 2020), where the body ends (Platypus Press, 2017). Mad, sick poet & visual artist interested in lunch notes and sea creatures and witchy business.
What I am reading RIGHT NOW (and loving): the new translation by Kathleen Maris Paltrineri of Kristin Berget’s collection, AND WHEN THE LIGHT COMES IT WILL BE SO FANTASTIC. A must-read for my eco-poets! #newpoetry #translation #ecopoets

So glad to have this poem in the latest SHADOWPLAY. This is from what I’m currently working on, a collection about family ancestry and what we carry with us in our bodies through the generations. It’s about anger, and witchiness, and also a lot of coastal imagery:

Two poems in the latest edition of Sonic Boom -- if you love little poems, definitely read this wonderful issue and give Sonic Boom a follow. I loved every poem in this issue: it's giving jewel box, contemplation, quiet fierceness vibes.

Snowy day reading — absolutely loving this book by Melissa Fite Johnson. Gorgeous!

“It seems you’ve been looking out
One window, one moment all your life,
At the slant roof and trees,
While everything around you evolved,
Became something else.” — Cathy Song

Feeling the crinkle and snap of smoke and burn and longing for color in this February cold.

A poem for the new year — a wish for the new year.

Getting ready to read today at The Word Barn in Exeter, NH. Looking forward to being in community — working on these little paintings and readying my poems.

Feeling like a flattened ghost today 👻 so sorting through poems and paintings to try to feel a little more alive.
