Poetry

These powerful poems delivered me to all kinds of ecosystems thriving just underneath the surface in all their violent glory… At times, these poems suggest a disquieting tone that haunted me throughout the day. At other times, I felt a liberating honesty and was grateful for how it shook me awake.—Krysten Hill, judge’s note for Water Street

  Gorgeous Infidelities, an art book in collaboration with photographer Paul Ickovic, pairs my poems with Mr. Ickovic’s photographs. The book showed in a retrospective exhibition of Mr. Ickovic’s work at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris. The chapbook is published by Impossible Dream Editions. You can see samples here and on my Instagram.   Water Street, co-winner of the New England Poetry Club 2018 Jean Pedrick Chapbook Prize, is set at an old converted farmhouse apartment by the Mill River in Leeds, MA. It explores the tension between freedom and domesticity as reflected in the natural world: the minks, bats, frogs, spiders, and wasps, as well as the plants and trees and the river itself. Sample poems and reviews are here and here and an NEPR interview about the book is here.
