Chapbooks

I am often absorbed and transported by archives, photographic images, geologic formations, and various other markers of time. I tend to write site-based poems, individually or in sequences, that explore the layers of a given place or landscape. Here is a teaser blurb and sample poem from my most recent chapbook, American Grubble, which explores and both nostalgia and planetary grief. You can learn more about my chapbook, The Feltville Formation, in this interview and podcast from New Books in Poetry, or in reviews from Poetry Northwest and the Blood Jet Writing Hour.
