I'm Professor Emerita of English at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, where I've taught American and modern British literature, poetry courses, and literature by women. My poems have been published in Sow's Ear Poetry Review, Cold Mountain Review, Louisville Review, and Ruminate, among other places. In 2019 my chapbook Salt was published by Seven Kitchens Press. When I'm not writing I enjoy hiking and biking among the scenic bluffs of NE Iowa and reading mysteries, a poet's food.
