Scientific biography: My research focuses on the intersection of poetry and poetics, media studies, and theories of the public sphere. I received my PhD in English and American Literature from NYU in 2021, and my MFA in Creative Writing from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in 2021. I am the author of Someone Like You (Gauss PDF 2017), Simple Location (above/ground 2023), and the creator and co-editor of the collaborative writing project Executive Orders (forthcoming in its comprehensive version from punctum books in 2025). My critical and creative writings appear in journals and periodicals including Chicago Review, Criticism, Boston Review, Prelude, The Brooklyn Rail, Urban Omnibus, and Supermachine, among other publications, and I’ve been a Writer-in-Residence at Millay Arts and Yaddo. I also serve as an organizer and editor for the multi-sited poetics working group and small press, the Organism for Poetic Research, and as a contributing editor for the climate-crisis-and-culture platform, The Distance Plan. Since 2012, I’ve taught courses on literature, critical theory, environmental justice, and creative writing on the campuses of CUNY Brooklyn College, CUNY Queens College, Bard College, and NYU.
