About

I’m a poet, a professor, a mother, a wife, a bit of an activist, a lover of the word. My most recent book is Ringing the Changes from Finishing Line Press (2019), finalist for Book Excellence Award (Ontario). My debut full-length collection is Green and Burning from WordTech Editions (2016), a finalist for a Book Excellence Award (Ontario); a chapbook, More Water Than Words, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2017. My earlier anthology, Ekphrasis: Art into Words was published in 2009 and my debut chapbook, Night-Blooming Cereus and other poems, was published in 2007 and is available by request from the author. I write as someone who looks at the world from inquisitive, spiritual and scientific, feminist (don’t fear the word) lenses and who loves contemporary Irish poetry in particular. I live in upstate New York and I’d love to  hear from you. If you’d like a copy of my chapbook, please fill out the following form and I’ll get back to you. If you’d like to send me a note in the form below, I welcome those, too.
