My poem "Wild/Tame" is up in the National Poetry Month issue of The Account. It's a wonderful journal that includes "accounts" of each of the works in the issue. This poem was inspired by a visit to a woman who buys wild horses, tames some, and lets others stay wild.
I've long admired The Rumpus so I'm super happy they took two of my poems. "Might a Fate Be Changed" and "Decline of the Humanities" are on their website with a bunch of other amazing poems, essays, etc.
My chapter "Dowsing the Depths, Not Digging the Well,” appears in the newly published Creative Strategies: A Multi-genre Guide to Writing Feedback on Student Manuscripts. In this chapter, I talk about my approach to offering feedback to undergraduate poets in an introductory workshop. Each chapter, including my own, contains student work with feedback for study by readers. This book would be useful to any creative writing teacher who has struggled to find a feedback strategy that is useful to students and not terribly time-consuming. I read The End of the Road last year and it annoyed me, so I wrote this petty little poem. Villain Era Lit was the perfect home for this one.
My poem "To the Girl Dancing on the Corner Waiting for the Bus" is in the current issue of The Adroit Journal. It's a poem I wrote after teaching my students Ada Limon's "Downhearted." I'm grateful to that poem for giving me the spark that led to this poem. It helped me process my own sadness at the loss of a student and spin out some hard hope.
My poem "Credo," is up on the Tupelo Quarterly website. I wrote this poem a few summers ago in an online workshop with Alicia Mountain. It's inspired by a trip I took to the Ozarks and a stay in a cabin in the woods.
Listen to me read my poems "Solstice" and "Breakthrough" published in The Southern Review Winter 2025 issue. You can listen to other poets read their work as well!
