So, here’s a nifty thing: One of my poems was selected to be handed out at Red Hen Press‘s Poetry Prom by poet Nicelle Davis, who coordinated a human Zoltar fortune-telling machine at the event. You know, Zoltar — like from the movie Big. (Apologies to anyone who was prematurely aged or turned into Tom Hanks due to receiving my poem.)
Anyway, here’s a shot of the poem laid out all pretty (bottom left):
I grew up in New York and Massachusetts, and have an MFA in creative writing (fiction) from Mills College in Oakland, CA. My fiction and poetry have appeared in various journals, and my poetry chapbook Blueshifting was published by Upper Rubber Boot Books. My work reflects my various artistic obsessions, including science, nature, time, and what it means to live in a physical body. I enjoy creating characters and worlds that explore the strange and unusual, and believe that sometimes the strangest world of all is this one.
