I work for the Arts in Education program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and teach English part-time in the Boston University Prison Education Program. I won the 2013 Erica Mumford Prize for poetry about travel and international culture from the New England Poetry Club for my poem "Looking for Lorca," and my poem "Heartbroken Gorilla" appears in the Naugatuck River Review among the 2013 finalists for their annual narrative poetry contest. Some of my other recent poems appear in Agni Online, Tower Journal, Short Gazette, Evening Street Review, and In My Bed. In 2009 I published "Sidewalk Tectonics," a chapbook from Pudding House Publications that takes the reader from Lincoln's birthplace to the site of MLKing's assassination. Recently I've been working on poems concerning Latin America, central Ohio, and Elvis Presley--the latter in a cycle of poems inspired by finding Graceland closed on the one day of a Memphis visit that I'd set aside for Elvis.
