I am the author of Rope Bridge (2005), a book of poems. I live in Los Angeles and teach at an independent high school and in the Master of Professional Writing program at the University of Southern California. I am also the Poetry Director of the Napa Valley Writers Conference, a summer conference in St. Helena, California.
I was a Stegner Fellow and a Jones Lecturer in Poetry in the Stanford University Creative Writing Program. I have received fellowships and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rona Jaffe Foundation, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. I am currently working on a new book of poems.
