Her work has appeared in Nineteenth-Century Prose and is forthcoming in A Companion to the Prose Poem. She is currently is working on a book manuscript entitled "Antagonistic Cooperation: American Poetry in an Age of Prose," which uncovers the surprisingly recent history of the poetry-prose dichotomy.
