Her first poetry collection, The Cartographer's Vacation, received the Owl Creek Poetry Prize; other honors include a PEN Discovery Award and Glimmertrain's Short Fiction Award. She directs the Blacksmith House Reading Series and writes about marine research at MIT. ""...an ideal and recommended introduction for those new to her poetic style, and a welcome update for those previously familiar with her work...""--Midwest Book Review.
