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 for the contests they were judging.

 


The full table of contents is below. 
If the poems have been published, they’re linked and underlined.
