Book
Protectress (novella in verse), Unsolicited Press, 2022.
From the publisher: Protectress is a hybrid poetry-prose novella offering a risky take on the legend of Medusa. With stunning economy of words and a delicate hand, Protectress provokes us to think about the feminist identity and the power of compassion. Readers who fell deeply for Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey, Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad, Madeleine Miller’s Circe, Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation of Beowulf, and Toby Barlow’s Sharp Teeth will find themselves enamored with Protectress.

Chapbook
Making Mythology (chapbook), Louisiana Literature Press, 2020.
Twenty-seven poems including the suites From Wild Sleeping Waters, All of the Leaves, and Texas Suite, as well as the title poem, and “Professor Medusa,” the origin of Protectress.
