Poetry
Rebellion Box
Regina, SK: Radiant Press, 2023.
Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)
This explosive debut collection pushes against the limitations of gender roles, race, bodies and minds, and explores our insignificance and impotence in the universe. The concept of otherness afforded by a marginalized and neurodivergent perspective is brilliantly represented in this book.
Fiction (Short stories)
Widow Fantasies
Guelph: Gordon Hill Press, 2024.
Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)
Fantasies are places we briefly visit; we can’t live there. The stories in Widow Fantasies deftly explore the subjugation of women through the often subversive act of fantasizing. From a variety of perspectives, through a symphony of voices, Widow Fantasies immerses the reader in the domestic rural gothic, offering up unforgettable stories from the shadowed lives of girls and women.
