NEWS:

Thank you to the California Book Awards for selecting Mortal Geography for last year's award. And thank you to the NEA for a 2011 Poetry Fellowship, which allowed me to take last spring and summer off to write. I'm now happily settled in Moscow, Idaho, where I'm the new Assistant Professor of Poetry, and continuing to work on my second manuscript. With the aid of a University of Idaho Seed Grant, I'll also be spending part of the summer researching for this manuscript back in California!

Mortal Geography was reviewed on The Rumpus and appeared on Ron Slate's "Nineteen Poets Recommend New and Recent Titles."

Check out cool new art and poems at Broadsided, for which I'm one of the editors with the wonderful poets Elizabeth Bradfield and Sean Hill.
