Poet, teacher, meditator
I am a poet, freelance writer , teacher, and meditator. I have published two full-length books of poems—Sea of Faith, which won the 2004 Brittingham Prize and Help Is on the Way, which won the 2012 Four Lakes Prize, both from the University of Wisconsin Press. I was also the associate editor of The Oxford Book of American Poetry, published in 2006 by Oxford University Press, so I’m familiar with the process of editing and publishing an anthology. I hold an MFA in Poetry from Cornell University
