Artist Statement:

My work--literary and otherwise--spans different forms, genres, and media. It ranges from traditional to experimental. I have experience with plays, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, journalism, hybrid, and academic writing; and I have taught workshops for a wide range of universities and community institutions. I'm venturesome, and I'm always looking to push my own boundaries, engage in collaboration, and work on new projects!
