words for and about music

I'm a scholar focusing on music and screen history and women and music; and a poet, playwright, lyricist, and librettist.

My poem “Birthday” appears in Green Ink’s new anthology Roots.

“Cassandra at the Bonfire,” a companion piece to Girls Love Horses, is forthcoming from Harpy Hybrid.

“Lammas,” forthcoming in easing the edges: a collection of everyday miracles. This collection benefits the Patrick Heath Public Library in Boerne, TX.

“Concrete,” just published in Scapegoat Review.

“Macondo Prospect” will be published by Wingless Dreamer this winter.

You can still watch all 5 new micro-operas from the One Voice Project Micro-Opera Festival from March here. These feature 5 terrific singers in great performances.
