poet
& storyteller
My work blends lyrical language with character-driven storytelling, a little folklore, and a lot of heart. I'm drawn to the quiet power of overlooked women, the ghosts of shitty past, and the fine line between love and obsession.
My work often explores womanhood, friendship, family, fairytales, and folklore. Over the years, I've lived in six states including Florida, California, and now Colorado with my husband and goldendoodle. I spend most afternoons at local coffee shops and enjoy cozy evenings in bed with a good book, a cup of tea, and too many blankets.
History is a grimoire
of every woman’s silenced spells,
spilled potions, broken altars,
and murdered coven...
We give Dog a new toy
and she skins the tennis ball
or smiling fox or floppy bird,
and there's something uncomfortable...
We gave those stars
stories
of Orien the giant and huntsman,
forever stretching his bow over our horizon...
Too many people say,
“Never say never,” or
“Don’t burn your bridges!”
as though you were the one
who struck the match...
