Poems
I write poems that show the nuances of small moments, emotions, and relationships. People often tell me there's a slight funny edge to their otherwise somber or ironic tones. I am currently pursuing my MFA in Creative Writing at the Mississippi University for Women, with an expected graduation date of Spring 2027.
My video poem, "A Human(?) Vocabulary" is on my medieval book class website: makingthemedievalbook.weebly.com.

Creative Non-Fiction & Translation
I write about family, spirituality, community, and belonging. I translate French and Old Occitan poems, memoirs, novels, and essays into English.
I was a reader for Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody's The Idea of Perfection: The Poetry and Prose of Paul Valéry.
Below, you can see a brief video lecture about the French poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire and translation.
