Discrete Essays

From 2009-2017 I enjoyed a standing engagement reviewing poetry books for Fence Books' poetry review site, the Constant Critic, and have written on poets such as Hao Nguyen, Alejandra Pizarnik, and Margret Ross. Reviews have also appeared in such journals as the Poetry Project Newsletter, American Book Review, Rain Taxi, and Slope. Reviews for Bomb Magazine focus on dance and architecture. Recent reviews for venues such as the Los Angeles Review of Books blog include a piece on Catherine Taylor's essays You, Me, and the Violence and Cole Swensen’s essays, Art in Time.

Essays in anthologies include a piece on Mary Jo Bang for the Wesleyan University Press book Eleven More American Woman Poets in the 21st Century; a piece on Anne Carson for the University of Michigan Press volume on her work; and a piece on Barbara Guest for A Forest on Many Stems, published by Nightboat Books.
