Included here is my essay “Not Pregnant, Fat,” published by Mothers Always Write. In it, I explore body image, identity, and cultural expectations through a candid and personal lens. Alongside this piece, you will find a selection of book reviews from different years that reflect my ongoing interest in poetry and literary craft.
My reviews have appeared in Poetry International, Flycatcher: A Journal of Native Imagination, and Turtle Island Quarterly. I write about collections such as Ceremonial by Carly Joy Miller and Come Thief by Jane Hirshfield, focusing on the depth, language, and impact of each work.
Living and writing in Atlanta and the greater Georgia arts community connects me to a vibrant creative network while grounding my voice in a specific place. This page brings together essays and reviews that blend personal reflection with critical insight, offering work that is thoughtful, accessible, and rooted in both local and national literary spaces.
