I'm the author of three widely reviewed poetry collections and an award winning chapbook of short fiction. My work has appeared in over 100 national and international literary journal and anthologies. I received my MFA from Mills College in Oakland, Ca. and I'm the Poetry Editor for the “J,” a member of the National Book Critics Circle and blog for the Huffington Post. “The Ferlinghetti School of Poetics,” a poetry film, was featured in the 4th Annual Video Poetry Festival in Athens, Greece and many local venues. I have been on the faculty of the San Francisco Writer’s Conference since 2012.
