She writes poetry, fiction, and personal essays, moving between forms as the work asks. Her writing grows out of ordinary life—motherhood, desire, labor, illness, devotion—and lingers where those things turn tense or strange. She is drawn to image and voice over explanation, and to moments that crack open quietly rather than announce themselves. Across genres, she trusts feeling as a form of knowledge and lets language do its work slowly, in the body.
