POET / EDITOR
ORDER FROM NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESS
PRAISE
"These exquisitely controlled lines simultaneously hold it all, while spilling like seeds to become bodies born of light."
—TC Tolbert, author of The Quiet Practices
“Mud in Our Mouths elegiacally renders a queer experience of small-town America with care for her subjects, attention to the socioeconomic and sociocultural factors at work, and a precision of language and lineation. The poems consider the ephemeral: places and people once known, the people one used to be.”
—Emilia Phillips, author of Nonbinary Bird of Paradise
