Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Brasilia Review, Glass: A Journal of Poetry, Contemporary Verse 2, Figroot Press, Luna Luna Magazine, and Metatron, among others, and she is the author of the poetry chapbooks Miso Mermaid (words(on)pages press, 2016) and Pastries and Other Things History Has Tried to Kill Us With (dancing girl press, 2017).

Author Statement: Writing is a way not only to understand the world, but also to see how this understanding takes place. Most of my poetry stems from personal experiences, from big events to snippets of conversations to lines from literature or artwork I saw and enjoyed. Poetry is, for me, a way of bridging the gap between people and within my own self, to find patterns in thought and emotion in the hopes of finding someone who will say "that touched me in the same way."

Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
