This poet writes with raw honesty about her personal landscape, interaction with family events, those dysfunctional backstories. She shelters emotional trauma from the snowy winters of Minnesota that spark her imagination. She writes about obsessions, both large and small that tumble through her poems and life. She also writes to an internal audience of the departed and the dead or dying highlighting a litany of losses.
