Poetry
I write poetry, & have been a poet all my life.
I write about queer motherhood, desire, fertility, & the intersections of science, nature, & personal experience.
Adjacent to my own work, I am the Poetry Editor for The Signal House Edition
& I previously volunteered for Poet in the City as part of their audio team recording for their digital archive.

Between 2003 - 2007, I self-published four chapbooks: At that Age (2003), testing theories (2005), In the Telling of a Love Story (2007), and Flourish (2007). In the Telling of a Love Story was re-published as part of my Made With Love campaign to raise funds for my PhD in 2013.
I am also a proud graduate of the California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA), 2001 & 2002.
