I write

…a little bit of everything.

In June 2020, I received my MFA after defending my manuscript, And Otherwise Defective; a collection of short literary and speculative fiction that’s still a work in progress. Several stories, including “Living with Crows,” “Blank Spaces,” and “Black Holes,” have since found homes. The rest are floating around or being reworked, continuing to take shape as I do.

Post-COVID, I’ve found it difficult to write about the world without being out in it. I spend a lot of time in the same walls, looking at the same screens; I read more emails than books, pace more around my head than I do around the apartment. This introspection’s translated into poetry and lyrical essays, like “I Think I’ll Miss Us” and “I Can’t Bring Myself to Birth You Yet.”
