Poetry  – 

•Burn Fragment

 Still the flesh insists:
            thumbcap hard hat        new little
                pileup of cells     proud flesh
        mound         uninflated
crimson blister                      singed
Poetry  – 

•Mounting

In order to rise
without assistance
it is best to face
backward, stirrup turned
to accommodate

Nonfiction  – 

•Going Downhill From Here

An art lover turns to horses, the hills of her youth, and Marcel Duchamp for new perspective on neurodegenerative disease and the inherent fragility of the body.
