Her most recent poetry collection, What Enters the Mouth, was published in February 2017 by Standing Stone Books. It was praised by Ansel Elkins, author of Blue Yodel, who wrote, “these are fearless poems—a reckoning of the violence of girlhood rendered with grit and clarity.” Forgetting the Salt, her first book of poetry was published by Foothills Press in 2008. Her poems and nonfiction and fiction have appeared in The North American Review, The Cimarron Review, Rhino, The Mississippi Review, The American Literary Review, Stone Canoe, Icon, The Hollins Critic, The Patterson Review, The Healing Muse, and other journals.

She has completed her first novel, entitled Franny and John, as well as her third collection of poetry, After Marriage. She is working on a collection of essays about the challenge of solo motherhood in a pandemic. She has recently become a certified Yoga teacher through Mighty Yoga in Ithaca, NY. Her most important calling is to raise two powerful feminist girls who love themselves and who are willing to speak out against injustice.
