Impact: Women Writing After Concussion features 21 writers reflecting on their experience with traumatic brain injury. It is now available to pre-order, so ask your local bookseller or check your preferred online retailer. I am so grateful to be included in this collection, and especially want to thank the editors E. D. Morin and Jane Cawthorne for their hard work throughout the process.

After receiving some interest regarding my river poem "Hull 2017," first published in Touch the Donkey  issue 16 , I decided to make it available along with a few related poems I wrote around the same time. So please take this little collection. And if you enjoy it, consider sharing it along.

  After Impact  is a visual poetry display on at White Box @ Fringe HQ until May 16 2021. Below is the video of my launch talk/poetry reading. After Impact  is a poem printed on organza fabric hung above an oscillating fan so that the ripples mimic dizziness and create a sense of unease. Many thanks to Fringe HQ and Katrina for giving me the opportunity to display my work in such a wonderful space. Thanks also to Jonas Goodwin for taping the presentation. My appreciation to my supervisors Jacob, Christine, and Lynley for their feedback and support on the development of my manuscript. And gratitude to Rushi, Megan, and Beth for helping along the way.

I am so excited to present my first visual poetry exhibition at the White Box Gallery at Dunedin Fringe HQ (26 Princes Street). An opening reading will be held April 27 @ 7pm Exhibition runs April 27 - May 16
