About


What began as scribbles in a notebook has now became my life’s work, and I’m thrilled to share it with a broader audience. Helping people express how they feel has deepened my relationship with poetry
I have a MFA and PhD in Creative Writing and love connecting with students while teaching at the universities. My poems have appeared in many publications for over 15 years.
You can find my work in Charleston Magazine, Mid-American Review, New Orleans Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, Best New Poets 2013, & many more.
My honors include a Tennessee Williams Scholarship to Sewanee Writers' Conference, a scholarship to Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing, a residency at Vermont Studio Center, as well as nods in contests like the Copper Nickel Poetry Prize, Wabash Prize for Poetry, & the Palette Poetry Prize, among others.
