"Over and over the line is blurred between the internal self and the external world. What belongs to the self seems to be naturally extended into a world rife with spirits and ghosts, shadows and hands of gods."

Eve Jones, author of 'Bird in the Machine'

​

"This emerging poet is one to pay attention to. Creating intimacy with the reader through unique imagery drawn from her close scrutiny of the natural world, she takes risks not only in the phrasing and formatting of her poems, but also in her carefully embroidered approach to the expression of love and loss."

Ellen Waterston, Oregon Poet Laureate and author of 'Walking the High Desert' and 'Hotel Domilocos'

​

"I admire this essay for the way it braids its threads of environmental and personal devastation, loss, and survival with lyricism, close attention, and restraint. A devotion to a father, an altered landscape, and an altered self, 'Eulogy to a Tree' reckons with the way we move through the world and the world moves through us, and with the damage—and the beauty—left in the wake of our collision."

Molly McCully Brown, author of 'Places I've Taken My Body' and 'The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded'
