My work moves between poetry and fiction, separate practices but different ways of approaching the same questions: How do we understand our lives and the lives that came before us? What remains when memory falters? What stories survive the archive, and what stories must be imagined back into being?

I’m drawn to the places where documentation thins out, where a landscape holds traces of something no longer visible. Much of my writing begins with a fragment—an old photograph, a journal entry, a rumor, a contradiction—and grows outward into narrative or lyric form.
