"Revolving Doors: My Short Covid Career," an account of my breathless days working at a hospital during the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, debuted in the Summer 2020 issue of Rain and Thunder.
In both 2018 and 2020, I was humbled to be awarded a monetary poetry prize from the Writing Center at Saginaw Valley State University. My poems "Late-Winter Walk Around the Pond" and "Northerner Plays with Fire in Water" [pg. 71] were published in their annual literary journal Still Life. The prize award parties were held at the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum (2018; kicking off the Theodore Roethke Poetry & Arts Festival) and at the Saginaw Art Museum (2020), with a poetry slam included.
I finally finished up my double-short film project, it debuted on MCTV in late-2020. The two mini videos are called "Kitty Trip" and "Skywalk." So okay, maybe I didn't learn as much as I'd hoped from my first film, but at least I had fun making these two new shorts come together.

I made a film based on my prize-winning poem "Late-Winter Walk Around the Pond"; it can be viewed HERE!
