I’ve excited to announce that my next collection of poetry, Her Whole Bright Life, winner of the Jack McCarthy Book Prize and forthcoming from Write Bloody, is now available for pre-order! Books will ship in April, order today!

***

Her Whole Bright Life is a collection of poems that weave together the trauma and exhaustion of a life lived with disordered eating and the loss and grief of the death of the poet’s father. Love and hunger intertwine and become inseparable as the poet grapples to find, and listen, to both. With a distinct and feminist voice, this collection delves into a life now lived without a beloved parent, while trying to survive a pandemic, and battling demons that have lived inside her for most of her life. With both fierceness and tenderness, we see a woman trying to find her place within her own body and within an ever-changing world. This collection of poems is both an elegy and an anthem – praising both those who’ve been lost and those who remain.

In addition to my new book, I’m also offering a book bundle that includes all three of my full length collections and a copy of my handmade microchap, Back to Black: Poems About Amy Winehouse.

Another way to snag a copy of the microchap: at an in-person reading! I’m slowly building my book tour, adding cities and dates and would love to see you at an upcoming reading. If you curate a poetry reading series, host a podcast, or know of a great venue I should read at, please let me know – I’d love to come to your city!

I’m really excited about this new book and about the book tour – I can’t wait to share these poems with you!
