Howdy!

I'm a poet, and creative non-fic/memoir writer living in the PNW. I've been studying creative writing for ten years at UVU, where I edited poetry for the school literary journal. I've also interned at the lit mag Juxtaprose where I edited creative non-fic. I've had a few poems published but only on the school lit mag (Touchstones). 

 I live on a tiny island so I sadly won't be able to do in-person meetings. I am looking for an online social group to join wherein I can help others with their writing, get help with mine, talk about our shared writerly complaints and delights, etc. Right now I am working on a chapbook of poetry about generational trauma and inherited illness, using the metaphor of environmental issues in our nearby landscapes. I am hoping to make some lasting writerly friendships!

I have an MFA from Goddard College. I am an author, editor and avid reader. My family is multi-cultural. I am liberal. I am a lover of poetry, outsider art and vintage typewriters and I am passionate about hybrid writing that refuses to commit to traditional genres and labels. Stories that boldly trespasses into unfamiliar territory & pieces that naturally blend with other art forms light me up. I enjoy turning the lens both inward and outward.
My other passions are The Divine Feminine, Eastern & Yogic Studies, not just the Asanas, but the continual and connected dance between our inner & outer landscapes.
