Projects
A glimpse into some of my works.
Poetry
I am currently working to get my book of poetry published. The book, The Body and Blood, interrogates embodiment as both lovely and disturbing in how it sews together sexuality and spirituality in powerful, political, frightening ways. These poems tell a story of a holy, messy, aching body and its relationships with womanhood, eroticism, and God.
​
I am also working on completing a chapbook, Girlhood: A Mixtape, which will explore nostalgia, growing up, femininity, and how music ties all of these together.
Speculative Works
The Archivist is a postmodern, epistolary, YA science fiction novel that I am writing.
​
Falling Skies is a speculative serial I am co-writing with John Cronley.

Woodsmoke, Virginia
Many of my writings and compositions take place in the fictional Appalachian town of Woodsmoke, VA. For more information about this project, visit the instagram account @woodsmokeva. This account will have up-to-date information regarding the play Woodsmoke and Magnolias; the southern gothic anthology podcast Woodsmoke Whispers (a collaborative work in progress with producer Sawyer Gray); and the collection of music compositions entitled Arborum Corpus: Woodsmoke, Bracchia 1-6 (those terms are nonstandard and are defined in my scores and score collections, which I hope will one day be available for purchase).
Visual Art
I make upcycled jewelry and collage visual poetry, available for purchase at arts festivals. This artmaking is a practice of tending for the earth through reclamation of trash and scraps to create beautiful or fun art.

Haunted
This is a project in progress that I am creating with fellow playwright William O'Neal II. Haunted is a five-play cycle of one acts which share motifs, themes, and props, but not characters. Of these, the as yet completed one act plays are The Other Bones by Beverley, Do This In Remembrance by William, and The Wonderfullest Trick of All by Beverley.
