Books

  • Far Side of the Shadow Moon: Enchantments (chapbook, Glentula Press, 2024)
    • I like the originality of voice, subject, style, atmosphere and imagery of each poem…. Strider Marcus Jones, Editor, Lothlorien Poetry Journal.
    • As I’m reading, I kept asking, who are her influences? There’s a lilt to the poems I can’t place, but I’ll chance a guess and say, Yeats, perhaps Heaney.…But whoever [the] influences, it’s lovely poetry with a gentle, reflective voice and intensely lyrical one. And just at the right time…“gnarly.” Bruce Hunter, author of Galestro, the most recent of ten published books.
