Thanks for visiting. ​​​​​I write poetry, fiction, and nonfiction about the diasporic Rust Belt, gender, and experimentation. My current hybrid project that explores global deindustrialization and my poetry manuscript examining excessive "groupings" of voice, female labor, and art have received grants from the NEA (2025) and the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (2023).
