Swallow

Paper Bill Press, 2026
SWALLOW considers how love has the potential to change us or harm us. Through the lens of the Greek transformation myth, primarily the myth of Io, these poems examine the purgatory of heartbreak as the speaker wanders between harm and recovery, struggling to speak as if in the body of an animal. As a body of work, these poems investigate how love leaves us haunted.

Feel Ways: A Scarborough Anthology

Mawenzi House, 2020
“While much of Southern Ontario’s literature is associated with Toronto, this collection affirms a vibrant movement occurring within Scarborough.”
—Quill & Quire
“This book is like a mixtape of Scarborough stories that belong to the streets and trails and concrete as much as to the authors whose fierce visions bring them to you. The force of Feel Ways is the dailyness that the voices of these new writers raise above the single stroke of often obliterating stories.”
—Canisia Lubrin, author of The Dyzgraphxst and Voodoo Hypothesis
