Welcome, friends. I’m a poet, essayist, and teacher. People have called me a shy iconoclast, a social architect, a passionate instructor, and an audacious performer with a big bag of tricks (including mustaches and suspenders.)
I'm currently working on a collection of essays about becoming an orphan in my 20s and my struggle to create family for myself through art-making and community-building. My work explores grief through the humorous lenses of guinea pigs and leprotic acne.
There's news: From 2016-2017 I'll be in school at Lewis & Clark College getting a MAT degree and certificate, so my bailiwick will be shifting from facilitating self-expression in adults to working with teens on writing and learning English. You betcha I'm stoked.
Take an upcoming class or attend an event, keep up by joining my mailing list, learn about me, or read my work. Have questions or want to book me for a reading? Feel free to email me.
