- Bio
- Post-modern sea shanties. A virtual scrapbook. A tea-party for voice and debris. Audio excavation. Power-point presentations about free-ways, coffee-houses, cubicles, and the abyss. Poems, some of which look like plays.

Published: Adbusters, 2RiverView, HOW2, The Open Page. My poem for 4 women and a wolf, (stillness), was a finalist for the 2008 Jane Chambers award for feminist performance text.

Training: mathematical. theatrical. Roy Hart voice work.
