Poet | Educator | Winner of 2024 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize “Where Heaven Sinks” forthcoming @unvpress Fall 2025
Oakland, CA
Joined October 2013
I've decided to take a voluntary buyout from KQED b/c I can no longer in good moral conscious continue to work for any media organization that doesn't call a genocide a genocide. This was not an easy decision. But I'm following my gut and my gut never fails me.
