About

I hold degrees from Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia, where I was Hoyns Fellow as well as the recipient of a Javits Fellowship. Other honors include an Academy of American Poets Prize, the Merrill Moore Prize for Poetry, and the Guy Goffe Means Poetry Prize.

Originally from a small town in East Tennessee, I currently reside near Charlottesville with my husband (the poet Kevin McFadden) and work in the acquisitions department at the University of Virginia Press.
