PUBLICATIONS:
- Striven, The Bright Treatise (Noemi Press 2013)
- I teach and write out of the genealogies of experimental writing across the long twentieth century into contemporary practices. Documentary and investigative poetics, eco-poetics, visual poetry, and writing in the embodied wake of trauma have been special areas of my creative research and writing.
