I have bowled with Ted Enslin, had a catch with George Bowering, 'quarreled' with Christian Bök, made a pass at Lisa Jarnot, had Anne Waldman put her bare feet up on my dashboard, personally pissed off Michael Ondaatje. "All the biggies."

Her story "On the Other Side of Heaven - 1957" won the 2003 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award for Short Fiction. Her fiction frames issues race and gender within the context of capitalism and marginalization using various settings around the globe. The majority of her poetry is spiritually based and addresses issues of gender, race and identity in a Capitalistic society. Eager to express the lives and accomplishments of underrepresented women, she is currently writing a novel about female juvenile delinquents during the Great Depression. Some of her writing is published in the Bermuda Anthology of Poetry, African American National Biography Project, Warpland, Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy, Women in Judaism and The Sable Quill. She recently served as the co-editor of the 2008 NWP, Professional Writing Retreat anthology. She chose the University of Kansas because the Department of English offers an eloquent blend of diverse scholars and writers within one community.
