Publications

My writing investigates themes of queerness, art and religion, the Jewish body, diaspora, ancestry, climate collapse, and more. I am fortunate to have learned with teachers from the following institutions and organizations: ECA Educational Center for the Arts; Toho Journal; Green Street Poetry; Yetzirah: A Hearth for Jewish Writers; Harvard Divinity School; Ritualwell; and more.
