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 forthcoming 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). 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.
