Reviewing proofs for my upcoming poem in The American Poetry Review!

Thrilled!!! to review proofs of my poem “We Couldn’t Be More Biological” which will appear in the January issue of The American Poetry Review!!! Wow!

I never know what I’m going to write about when I write my poems. I sure didn’t know this love poem would be inspired by a couple creatures peeping out from the middle of a 4 hour NOAA deep sea science expedition video, which is the kind of thing my partner and I like to watch late at night with the lights down low…

Colorado Review has accepted my poems “Night but Unlike Night” & “Peel the Black Walnut Bark like Small Fists in our Fists”

On my birthday yesterday, one of my very favorite journals, Colorado Review, accepted my two poems: “Night but Unlike Night” & “Peel the Black Walnut Bark like Small Fists in our Fists.” What a treat! CR has published two of my poems before, as well as a creative nonfiction essay, and it’s a journal I hold close to my heart. Thank you Matthew Cooperman and everyone at CR! These two poems are particular favorites of mine, and at the center of the developing manuscript of my third poetry book. I’m overjoyed they will appear in Colorado Review!
