My poetry, documentary photography, and paintings have been featured in the White House President's Committee on Arts and the Humanities, the Hall of Nations in the Kennedy Center, The Tupelo Quarterly, The Kenyon Review, and The Black Warrior Review. I was a U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, and my work has been supported by the Academy of American Poets, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, and the Martin Starkie Prize from the Oxford University Poetry Society. I owe everything I know about poetry to Jorie Graham, Tracy K. Smith, Matt Miller, and Josh Bell.​
