Her poem about grief, “In Air,” was produced as a limited edition chapbook and nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
Her dark prose and poetry can be found in her full-length collection, WASTED DAYS (Anxiety Press), and chapbooks TORN UP (Femme Salve Books) and THIRD GENERATION HYSTERIA (Alien Buddha Press), as well as multiple literary journals and anthologies. She is founder and editor-in-chief of Versification Literary Zine.
