Who I am.

The author of four books, my essays, poems, and reviews have been published in over 50 journals, including in the Huffington Post and Colorado Review. I’ve won the River Teeth Nonfiction Book Award, the Chautauqua and Literal Latte’s essay prizes, and my work has been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes and named a notable by Best American Essays.

A Prayer for Those Who Grieve



Dear Creator and Sustainer of this World, be with those of us who have lost a loved one. Comfort us in our grief. Listen to our cries of anger and confusion, listen to our sobbing, our rantings of shock and depression. Sit with us in the many lonely hours to come.
