About My Poetry
Like the persona in my poem "The Heart That Lies Outside the Body," I've learned how to have fun with it. I write about what obsesses me, whether that's the odd characters in the Guinness Book of World Records, the loud talker in the neighboring cubicle at work, or my toddler who spends her days running full-speed toward pointy, dangerous things. I enjoy sharing my work with audiences and readers, so please take a look at my upcoming appearances and publications, and spend some time to sample my work in both printed and audio formats.
