Author, Writer, Poet
Thank you to Amaranthia Sepia for editing this practice video of our AWP 2024 panel “Processing Our Pandemic Grief” with Amaranthia, her mom Claire Jones, Jan Steckel (moderator), and Suchandrima Bannerjee. Special thanks to Cristina Deptula for bringing us together. The video closely maps the final panel presented at AWP.
I had the pleasure of reading three new poems inspired by our lingering social and cultural landscape.
If you’re going to San Francisco, I will be reading at Salesforce Park tomorrow (2/15) with two of my favorite poets from the SF Writers Grotto–Pia Chatterjee and Preeti Vangani, hosted by Sabina Khan-Ibarra. Hope to see you there!

I was honored to read at the open mic behind sterling poets Jenny Qi (organizer), Shikha Malaviya, Maw Shein Win, Heather Bourbeau, and Laird Harrison. Earthy poems for Earth Day at the SF Ferry Building, such a beautiful location.
It might look like I’m crooning, but I’m actually reciting this poem: https://rustandmoth.com/work/why-trees-stay-outside/
Thank you, Laird for the photo.
