“Don’t Repeat This” in Thimble

I’ve been slow to post this poem, partially because it was released while I was traveling for Christmas and partially because it feels so vulnerable. I’m grateful to Nadia Arioli and Thimble for publishing my work. Check out their whole new issue, including pieces by Dayna Kidd Patterson, Margaret Rozga, Juliet Cook, and Shawnte Orion!

Crossing the Lines

Last week I had the privilege of participating in Crossing the Lines, an interdisciplinary diversity conference at PLNU.

In addition to presenting my own poetry from my Bible word-banking project alongside some of my incredible poetry students, I got to see presentations from other brilliant students, colleagues, and scholars. I also got to catch up with Jenn Givhan and hear her fantastic keynote address.

What an important and enjoyable conference! Thanks to Sam Powell and Maira Lopes for organizing this and including me.

“Sighting Grief” in Ruminate

The cento I created for Marthe Reed’s tribute reading earlier this year has just been published in the new issue of Ruminate. This poem weaves Marthe’s lines with lines from some of her ULL students, and it means a lot to me to have it published in a journal I admire alongside some incredible writing and art.
