About Me



I am a poet and performer. I live in Brooklyn with my husband, poet and cartoonist Gary Sullivan, and two cats, Dante and Nemo . I'm the author of foriegnn bodie , Are Not Our Lowing Heifers Sleeker than Night-Swollen Mushrooms? , Swoon (with Gary Sullivan), and V. Imp. My newest book, Folly, is forthcoming in the spring. I grew up in the Bay Area just after the Summer of Love. In the late 70s and early 80s I was a punk. Then I got into L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. Then I moved to Japan, where I lived for eleven years. If you want to know how I got to Brooklyn from Tokyo, read Swoon!
