Well folks I am quite beside myself. I found out last month that my poetry book “Ladder to the Light” is a finalist for the Oregon Book AwardsStafford/Hall Prize for poetry!! This is astonishing and thrilling and I soooo excited to see what new opportunities for learning and growing and meeting new people this brings! I am deeply humbled by this honor and excited to be grouped with so many great writers.

Thank you to all who have encouraged me and cheered me on in all things poetry. I am so grateful and so exicted to deepen my word-nerd tendencies, and I’m already dreaming of my next book of poems! 🙂
