Poetry

History, Advice and Other-Half Truths (Stephen F. Austin State University Press 2013) explores the intersections of Western legends, landscapes, love, terror, as a range of characters struggle to live passionate lives. Here Doc Holliday is turned in by his worn-out lover, Jim Younger laments from his prison cell, Carl Jung builds sandcastles, women find freedom as ranchers and outlaws, grandmothers give advice and haunt bridal bedrooms as the poet grapples with her own transition into a wife and mother. It was reviewed here.

Winter/Windows is a two-poem twenty-page chapbook hand-bound in 2013 by Miel. An exploration of parenthood in the time of climate change a few copies are still available and can be purchased directly from the author. For more on this chapbook check out this thoughtful review.

A third chapbook, Of Nets, is a letter-press edition of a ten-page poem published in 2010 by Gendun editions. This poem is reprinted in History, Advice and Other Half-Truths. The letterpress edition is sold out.
