Waveland
Black Lawrence Press, 2021
A debut collection of poems about beauty, loss, and the world's insistence on making us feel everything. Waveland moves through landscapes of place and time with humor, longing, and hard-won wisdom — poems that fill you with music you'll want to hear over and over again.
"The word 'lush' doesn't even begin to describe these poems. Are you hungry, reader? Open this book, then. A feast awaits." — David Kirby
"You will leave this book more delicate than before. The grace is astounding." — Goodreads reader
"Love comes and goes in waves" — Vagabond City Literary Journal

Oh Honey...You're Not Crazy
(A Memoir — in progress)
At 44, I thought I knew who I was. Then a short romance cracked me open — and everything I had spent a lifetime running from came rushing in.
What followed was a journey through Central and South America, through grief and Buddhism and a long reckoning with childhood trauma, and finally back to myself — to faith, to love, to a life I could actually inhabit.
What happens when life comes calling for the real you — and you realize she's been there all along?
I am currently seeking representation for this memoir. If you are an agent or editor, I would love to hear from you.
