About
Iām a poet and mixed-genre writer, author of Nightwork (Golias Books, 2021), Justice Piece // Transmission (Timeless, Infinite Light, 2018), and The Braid (Krupskaya, 2016), which won the San Francisco State University Poetry Center Book Award. Recent work appears in the chapbook A Little Chat with the Sun from Clones Go Home and the chapbook Dear Em from eyelet press. With Eric Sneathen, I edited Honey Mine by Camille Roy (Nightboat Books, 2021). I currently publish a zine called the Nashville Warbler, which celebrates the readers (and curators!) of the untitled reading series at Tamarack in Oakland. My gender identity is some mix of belated queer, Jewish great-aunt, and aspirational Frank O'Hara. From New Orleans, LA, I live and work in Richmond, CA, and am committed to queer art, intersectional feminism, parenting, and anxiety.
In the past eon of bopping around poetry-land, I co-edited the little magazine Mrs. Maybe with Jared Stanley & Catherine Meng; was a Board member at Small Press Traffic; edited the Poetic Labor Project blog with Brandon Brown, Steve Farmer, & Alli Warren; and enjoyed adventures as a member of the Timeless, Infinite Light queer poetry and performance collective. I also co-founded and currently run a queer youth organization, and curate our Rainbow Families Library.
