Undeniable: Writers Respond to Climate Change, an anthology from Alternating Current Press, is now available for on Amazon and will make its debut at this year’s AWP. I’m so honored to have my poem “Watershed” in this magnificent, vital work.


“Watershed” was inspired by my own experience in the 1,000-Year Flood of Elk River, WV in 2016 and is also in my book, Give the Bard a Tetanus Shot.
