I write about the things we carry without knowing we're carrying them — and what happens when we finally put them down. I came to poetry through survival and to memoir through a long journey that took me from Colón, Panama to Nosara, Costa Rica to the heights of Machu Picchu, and across the open roads of the United States. I believe in the transformative power of honest writing and in the possibility of starting over at any age.

If you're here for the poetry, start with Books. You can also find my published work, read my newsletter, or just get in touch — I'd love to hear from you.
