Hello! I’m an academic librarian and freelance writer and editor whose poetry, essays, and book reviews have appeared in Brooklyn Poets Anthology, Literary Mama, Hazlitt, Publishers Weekly, and elsewhere. I’m a member of the National Book Critics Circle and have written critical essays for the Ploughshares blog on everything from the delusions of Don Quixote to facing the jackpot with William Gibson. At my free weekly newsletter, The Variegated Life, I write about books, librarianship, and making a life with a creative practice—subscribe today!
