As a creative writer, I have published poems, short stories, and essays in several literary journals and magazines, including the Gettysburg Review, New Ohio Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Gulf Coast, Seneca Review, and Slate.com. My first full-length collection of poetry, Another City, was published in 2015 by FutureCycle Press, and my second collection, Deep Cuts, is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press. In 2018, I published Driving at Twilight, a poetry chapbook.
