Her poems and reviews have appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, The Paris Review, Kenyon Review, Poetry Northwest, Boston Review, Jacket2, FIELD, WSQ, Ninth Letter, Blackbird, Oversound, Los Angeles Review of Books, Modern Language Studies, and elsewhere.  She holds degrees from Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and NYU, and was a poetry editor of Boston Review from 2012 to 2018.
