To celebrate turning 30, I hosted "Poetry at the Pub" to show off my friends and enjoy a night of poetry together. This video is my full set from that show.
Venue: Peace Tree Brewing, Des Moines, IA

Her work is published or forthcoming in Central Avenue Publishing, Pile Press, Lyrical Iowa, Backchannels Journal, Spirit Lake Review, and elsewhere. She is a 2024 Pushcart Prize nominee.
