Queerly becoming a plant.
Practicing a poetics of obsession, obliteration, ​hyper-focus, dissolution, ritual, dissociation. 
 
PhD candidate in poetics and author of the artist books Poem Composed for a Long Book and Winter Garden Orchestra and the chapbook Body of Water. My dissertation tracks plant life's autopoetic thinking: the thinking that things itself out of (out of) language. Poets of focus include Peter Larkin, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Craig Dworkin, and Lisa Robertson.
