Her poems have appeared in such journals as The Iowa Review, The Antioch Review, The New Republic, Quarterly West and Fence. 368834 2004 Matadora total:13|5:5|4:5|3:2|1:1| 13 52 26 1 4 0 false false Thu Nov 22 07:37:36 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 22 07:40:14 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Fri Oct 16 08:32:03 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 08:32:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 23 05:46:39 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 15:51:33 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 05:46:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 13:43:19 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 12:00:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 17:57:15 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 17:57:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 03 12:02:45 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 12:02:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 19 22:22:10 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 22:22:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 03 23:03:58 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 23:03:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 07 12:55:42 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 12:55:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 28 22:24:43 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 22:24:43 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Thu Jan 29 02:06:52 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 02:06:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 03 17:53:38 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 17:53:38 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 21 01:14:08 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 01:14:29 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Aug 13 18:02:29 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 18:02:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 06 06:38:24 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 06:39:22 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 09 16:05:15 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 16:05:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Mar 06 13:43:30 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 13:43:30 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 16 19:33:06 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 19:33:06 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sat Oct 06 12:35:04 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 14:52:44 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 14:52:44 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Aug 11 01:59:43 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 11 01:59:50 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=379011
