WRITING

“Truly engaging work in a voice that feels fresh.” –Panelist, Mid-America Arts Alliance’s Artists 360 Practice Artist grant

“[T]he poet adroitly builds a matrilineal ecosystem where the boundaries between familial members, flora and fauna converge. . .This [suite] is a mangled lyric which stuns in its candor, witnessing, and vulnerability.” – Diana Khoi Nguyen, 2023 Judge, Walton Family and Carolyn F. Walton Cole Fellowship in Poetry

“[I]t can’t go without saying, this poet can write in lyric lines, prose poems, and even in columns with tremendous skill. In these poems, the stakes are high, the poet’s hand is steady, and magic abounds.” – Sarah Blake, 2022 Judge, Felix Christopher McKean Poetry Award
