Our Lady of Thread is a hybrid collection that pushes the boundaries of what a poetry collection can be; it includes embroidered collages, stitched poems, and a QR code that links readers to a videopoem.
Thank you, Signature Books, for the continued faith in my work.

In this collection, I weave together three main threads: 1) poems in the voice of God the Mother; 2) prayer poems in the Catholic “Our Lady” tradition; and 3) poems about mothering my own two kids in the Anthropocene.
