It is with great excitement that I am announcing my next chapbook: Down to the Bone: Poetry for a Post-Roe World

Down to the Bone has just been named the winner of the
Poetry Mesa Chapbook Contest and will be published this year
by Wild Rising Press. I am so grateful to internationally renowned authors Judyth Hill and Catherine Marenghi for selecting my writing!

SAVE THE DATE: MARCH 27
My first reading of poems from Down to the Bone will be a Zoom event, hosted by the incredible Judyth Hill, on March 27. This evening of poetry will also feature readings by the five wonderful finalists of the Poetry Mesa contest—Julie K. Shavin, Gianina Nold, Kelly Watt, Rae Taylor, and William Considine. Stay tuned for registration details.
