Work

Memoir

Published through National Geographic, my memoir reflects on my experience in foster care and how cooking a meal from every country in the world helped me find my way as a new mother.  Featured on NPR’s Travel with Rick Steves and a Best New Book in People Magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine, and more.

Poem Objects & Redaction

Working with memory, resilience and belonging, I create poem objects through redaction, ekphrases, interactive manipulations, and book arts. This work has been supported by fellowships and Residencies, including the Oklahoma Center for Humanities at the University of Tulsa and the Mary K. Oxley Artist Residency, and commissioned by the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art.

 

Chapbook and Other Work

During my Mary K. Oxley Residency, I created a chapbook based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
