2020 Oregon Book Award Finalist
My sixth book of poetry, This Luminous: New and Selected Poems, was a finalist for the 2020 Oregon Book Award.
This was my second time as a finalist for the award. An earlier book, Fragile Acts, was a finalist in 2014 for the Book Critics Circle Award. After my BFA in Painting at RISD, my MFA from Southern Illinois University combined painting and poetry.
