Her work has been anthologized in Challenges for the Delusional (Jane Street Press) and Poetry is Bread: The Anthology (Nirala Series). Individual poems can be found in Tupelo Quarterly, The Adirondack Review, Heavy Feather, LIT, Margie, The Marlboro Review, 26 Magazine, Cutbank, and other print and online journals.
