These powerful poems delivered me to all kinds of ecosystems thriving just underneath the surface in all their violent glory… At times, these poems suggest a disquieting tone that haunted me throughout the day. At other times, I felt a liberating honesty and was grateful for how it shook me awake.—Krysten Hill, judge’s note for Water Street

| Gorgeous Infidelities, an art book in collaboration with photographer Paul Ickovic, pairs my poems with Mr. Ickovic’s photographs. The book is currently showing in a retrospective exhibition of Mr. Ickovic’s work at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris. The chapbook is published by Impossible Dream Editions. You can see samples here and here. | Water Street, cowinner of the New England Poetry Club 2018 Jean Pedrick Chapbook Prize, is set at an old converted farmhouse apartment by the Mill River and explores the tension between freedom and domesticity as reflected in the natural world: the minks, bats, frogs, spiders, and wasps, as well as the plants and trees and the river itself. Sample poems and reviews are here and here and an NEPR interview about the book here. |
