Introduction I am a southern woman trying to write about being a Christian and Mama of four boys. I took a break two years into my MFA in Poetry so I could birth some babies. There have been no signs pointing back to those workshops, so I feel perpetually unfinished, and yet the study is somehow better now.
Interests Poetry, writing, the South, theology, church, old glass, running a house, raising boys, eating, mothering
