Poetry
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING
…is the name of my first manuscript.
Poems from this manuscript have been published in places like The Atlantic, Ploughshares, and Poetry Magazine.
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING has only ever been the bridesmaid, never the bride. But that means Louise Glück and Diane Suess both have read it. Even if it was just a finalist. Even if they didn’t choose it for the Changes Press or Four Way Books prizes.
The full table of contents is below.
If the poems have been published, they’re linked and underlined.
If they're forthcoming, there's an asterisk.
