Welcome to “In-Brief”

I am a poet, essayist, memoirist and teacher.

I began writing as soon as I could hold a pencil; the constant urge to capture my perspective on everyday moments, including the ordinary, remarkable, and difficult, has become a daily habit.

My collection of writing is harbored in scattered journals, the backs of book covers, poems in my pocket, and untitled documents in Google Drive.

Recently, I have been “digging” and harvesting my writing, molding these clumps of clay into collections that have helped me make meaning.
