Writing

I am a poet and essayist. My essays and blog posts focus on health issues related to chronic illness, coping skills for families, and resilience. I am also curious about the intersection of writing, healing and the brain and follow research in this area.

Excerpt

No one wants to talk
about the sick child.
Corrugated sadness, apologies baited with fear
the mousetrap faces of those with healthy kids, shut.
