I may rise, but I refuse to shine.

About Me

I am a music school dropout currently majoring in English and minoring in Creative Writing at UMBC. Though I write mostly poetry, I do not conform to one genre. I've published poetry in a number of journals which include: Into the Teeth of the Wind, The Village Rambler Magazine, Poetry Motel, Abbey, and Beginnings. I have also been featured in the anthologies Reeds (Pudding House, 2004) and The Pagan's Muse: Words of Ritual, Invocation, and Inspiration (Citadel press, September 2003). In addition to writing, I enjoy photography and playing the flute and piccolo. I’m also a highly dedicated Solitary Eclectic Wiccan.
