Read

My writing invites readers into a world where the ordinary is charged with meaning and the intimate becomes luminous. My poems and prose explore the intersections of body, memory, faith, motherhood, and place, drawing on lived experience with precision and emotional depth.

Across my work, metaphor does more than decorate. It carries weight. It reveals. It transforms. As one early line from my collection suggests, metaphor becomes “the transfer of burden,” asking readers not only to observe, but to feel.

Poetry

My poetry is widely published in literary journals and anthologies, with work appearing in Rust + Moth, Foundry, The Rappahannock Review, The Windhover, and others.

My poems often center on:

  • The evolving identity of motherhood
  • The tension between love and loss
  • The physical body as both home and history
  • Landscapes that echo emotional terrain

With language that is at once lyrical and grounded, my poems balance clarity and surprise, offering images that feel both unexpected and inevitable.

My debut full-length collection is a meditation on family, faith, and the cost of love. The poems move through rupture and repair, asking what it means to hold a life together while acknowledging its fractures.

Praised for its emotional intensity and lyrical precision, Visitation presents the body and the home as sites of both damage and devotion.

Bury the Lede (Finishing Line Press)

This earlier chapbook introduces many enduring concerns: memory, perception, and the quiet moments that reshape our understanding of ourselves and others.

Whether encountering my work for the first time or returning again, readers are invited not just to read, but to recognize themselves within it.
