a book? a book!
My debut poetry collection, UNDERSHORE, was released in May 2023 from Lightscatter Press—order directly from the publisher here!
a microchap!
My microchap, the photo I don’t write about, was a recipient of Tilted House’s 2023 Netsuke Prize, and is now available for preorder! Preoders will ship in January 2025—it’s a limited edition of 120 with a handset, letterpress-printed cover—get yours here.
What’s a “microchap”? It’s a mini mini book. This one consists of a single series of poems—a total of 503 words over 12 pages—an exciting exercise for a poet who loves constriction.
…a manuscript
My second full manuscript of poetry, Fire Series, is still searching for a home. It has been a finalist for the National Poetry Series, the Omnidawn Open Poetry Book Prize, and the Noemi Press Book Award, among others. Individual poems in the collection have been published in Gulf Coast, American Chordata, Post45, and Sixth Finch (see below). If you are a publisher interested potentially acquiring the collection, please reach out here.
