I’m blessed to contribute to these editorial teams.
Consequence
I joined the Consequence Poetry Team in June 2021 as one of two Readers before becoming the Assistant Poetry Editor. As of early 2024, I’ve been contributing as the Poetry Editor! It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of the behind-the-scenes effort. Consequence’s mission is crucial to me as a poet and human. Exploring war and geopolitical violence through great literature fosters necessary discussion and reflection.
Poets Reading The News
From March 2021 to August 2021, I served as an Associate Poetry Editor for the online journal and non-profit PRTN. Exploring news - whether tragic, disheartening, or hopeful - through poetry is genius in my opinion. It allows us to process what’s happening and react to it in a way that’s constructive and empowering.
