Abode Press Hybrid Chapbook Winner
​​​Forthcoming Spring 2027

Sen time ntality is a hybrid memoir that weaves poetry, prose, and creative non-fiction into a transformative journey along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Marina, La Llorona, has spent a lifetime as a stagnant, weeping ghost, finds herself in a moment of liberation and exploration of the parallels between the Irish coast and her desert borderland home, El Paso/Mexico. ​
"The Five Stages of Stuttering is by far one of the strongest voices of an emerging poet that I have read. Language lulls and sings. There is linguistic playfulness despite the speaker's psychological and physical losses. The musicality and successful use of experimental forms, paired with a poignant reality, provide insight and wisdom. "
​-Sheryl Luna, author of Magnificent Errors, Seven, Pity the Drowned Horse

​The Lamb's Tail is a collection of poetry that explores the space where inner and outer landscapes meet along the Mexican border. It's about the fragmented homes of childhood due to divorced parents. One home filled with a sense of belonging and another lost in fear and anxiety.
