Poetry
I write speculative and contemporary poetry.
I am also an occasional poetry busker.
Online & Magazine Publications
Fortunately most of my poetry is free to read online! If you'd like to read any that aren't, consider supporting the magazines. If that's not possible, please email me and I can send you a PDF.

I had the honor of editing one of the Science Fiction Poetry Association's Magazines, Eye to the Telescope! It was an absolute delight to open this themed call, select from the hundreds of submitted poems, and build a table of contents that covers all sides of food and feasting.
