Poems in I-70 Review

My poems "It Feels Like Years" and "Woman Living Alone" appear in the summer/fall 2020 issue of I-70 Review. 

"It Feels like Years" features an epigraph from a poet whose work I am genuinely obsessed with, Kathleen Pierce. It's a line from her poem "Ovidian" from her book The Oval Hour​:

"Who moves among desires understands stasis is the harder art."

My poem "A Cautionary Tale" is in the current issue of The Boiler. Inspired by a weird trip to to Massachusetts, bad vibes between friends, and a possibly rabid cat who was locked in the garage for months.
