What’s your latest published/performed work?
My debut collection of poetry, Lift, was released with Thistledown Press in 2019. Lift is an examination of how to be alive without being adrift. Loosely narrative, the collection spans two Canadian coasts, its speaker a transplant from Atlantic to Pacific.
Are you connected to any creative writing communities you’d like to mention (UBC alums, film and theatre communities, etc)?
I teach a continuing education poetry course with SFU.
