PUBLISHED WORKS & READINGS

All That Sustains 

My first book of poetry, an illustrated full-length collection of work produced over
20 years, inspired connections with the natural world and its inhabitants through all four seasons. It reveals salient times in my life as a young mother and conservation biologist, reflecting on my own childhood, and the insights, strength, and sustenance
gained by spending slow, watchful time in nature. Available for purchase online through Off the Common Books.
