"Poetry is not a luxury." -Audre Lorde
"Telling the truth is powerful medicine." -Chrystos
My poetry emerges from personal and intersecting community struggles for survival and healing in the face of ongoing colonization and violence. My first collection, Walking with Ghosts: Poems, is part of Salt Publishing's Earthworks Series, edited by Janet McAdams. My work also appears in several publications including Shanendoah, Red Ink, Redwire Magazine, Lodestar Quarterly and The Crab Orchard Review. I perform my poetry and conduct poetry workshops at venues throughout Turtle Island. I also have three self-published chapbooks and a poetry CD available through Dragonfly Rising Press. What I hope most is that my poetry can do the work that it needs to do in the world: bear witness, help others survive and thrive, and aid in multifaceted and ongoing processes of healing and decolonization.

You can purchase Walking with Ghosts directly through me, or through your favorite locally owned, independent bookstore. $15.00 + Shipping.
