POWER POINT

Recently featured in MIT Technology Review, POWER POINT is a groundbreaking short collection combining humor, statistical analysis and visual poetics and centering hope in the face of difficult realities. The book includes Best of the Net nominated, You are 600% hotter than the Sun (Cathexis Northwest Press), 100% MOM (Whale Road Review), Pushcart nominated, Failure to Thrive (Meat for Tea), and several genre/discipline bending poems that intersect economics, science, popular art, and literature. 

All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents

Named 2024 San Diego Writers Festival’s Poetry Collection of the Year, this beautiful chapbook debut is a timely and uplifting exploration of life, with all its unbearable longings, delightful flavors of childhood, and tender celebration of our common humanity. Brimming with humor and heartache, All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents embraces a fraught relationship with Ukraine, the author’s country of birth, and the U.S., where she now raises her own children.
