About this author

My 4th collection of poems, HOURGLASS MUSEUM, will be published by White Pine Press in 2014.

I am the author of Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room, which won the White Pine Press Poetry Prize judged by Carl Dennis. My other full collection is Small Knots (2004) and my chapbook, Geography, won the Floating Bridge Press Prize in 2003. I also edited the first eBook anthology of contemporary poetry, Fire On Her Tongue.

I'm an avid mountain biker who lives in a small seaside community with my family and small zoo of pets. I'm also the editor of Seattle's 30 year old print literary journal, Crab Creek Review.

“Maybe if I could slip into Sylvia's mind, sort out the spices in her rack, alphabetize them and dust them off. Maybe then I'd understand how it's the little things that pull you under.”

“Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Dude, the place is filling up," I say. "It feels like we're living in the bottom half of an hourglass."
Like somehow we're running out of time.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

“Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.”
Bill Nye
