The Book of Leavening, a collection composed primarily of free verse poems and ghazals, frequently uses juxtaposition, collage, and associative leaps to create a sense of lushness and musicality.

The poems, with a focus on the natural world and the rituals of marriage, motherhood, and loss, center around the self-growth and evolution of a narrator as she comes to terms with an expanded sense of the other and herself.

These poems are published or upcoming in Poetry Northwest, Kenyon Review, Poets.org, and Contemporary Verse 2, among numerous other journals.
