"How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!"

light shining in the darkness
In the midst of one of the worst experiences of my life, somehow I have also found myself at the beginning of one of the best. I'm trying very hard not to question or wonder why, and just to accept this wonderful gift. And be very, very grateful.

X "Chin Up" There kiddo... Take a deep breath... You can do it !
I write (whenever I can). I am single parent to two amazing kids (one of whom has Down syndrome). Right now, we're doing our best to get through a really rough time, with a lot of help from our family and friends.
I teach amazing, creative students at the fabulous Fashion Institute of Technology. And I absolutely love NYC!
I've published three poetry collections: Fine Motor (Sow's Ear Review Press, 2008) and Saint Nobody (Red Hen Press, 2009), and two chapbooks co-authored with Denise Duhamel: ABBA: The Poems(Coconut Books, 2010). and Enjoy Hot or Iced: Poems in Conversation and a Conversation (Slapering Hol Press, 2011).
Work in progress: a prose memoir, Little Star, about parenting a child with Down syndrome.
I am poetry editor of the literary webzine Ducts.
