Books
She Who Loves Her Father
A national contest finalist, She Who Loves Her Father (Dancing Girl Press, 2012) follows the afterlife of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, while examining her love life, the power-play between siblings, and the burial rituals of her people--the art of preservation in tombs, crypts, vaults, and jars. Sphinxes, the Nile, pyramids, and Isis all make their appearance in this chapbook of poetry.
Branding Girls
Branding Girls delves into consumerism, brands, and advertising while using the ekphrasis to respond to contemporary women artists and their work. Finishing Line Press published this chapbook of poetry in 2011.
Ghost Girl
A semi-finalist in a national contest, Ghost Girl (Pudding House Publications, 2010), explores memory loss and recovery after relocation. While many of the poems are traditional in form (villanelle, ekphrasis, prose, found), Ghost Girl reclaims the heroic journey as a female one.
My Imaginary
A finalist in four national chapbook contests, My Imaginary (Dancing Girl Press, 2010), claims humor as the site for inquiry into the erotic body.
