POETRY

Poetry is where I turn to when I need more meaning in my life. I’ve got a BA in Poetry and Gender Studies from Bard College, and I studied at the Poetry Project in NYC after college. Got published in a few places. I’ve written two chapbooks, one called OK TO GO and one called THE FABERGE WRECKING BALL. Have a third chapbook ready for a publisher. Know a poetry publisher? Hit me up!
