A regular contributor to Conjunctions, Drunken Boat, and Denver Quarterly, her hybrid form text work appears in Tin House, Kenyon Review, New American Writing, Alaska Quarterly Review, Trickhouse, and many others.
She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Ucross, Ragdale, and has been resident artist at Oberpfälzer Kunstlerhäus in Germany and the Haut de Fee Centre in France.
