Awards

“Take This Transmission for Instance” was awarded Runner-Up in the 2020 Florida International University Student Literary Awards, judged by poet Jan Beatty.

“They Call Me Buzz Jackson,” “Miles,” and “When Our Engine Died” were named finalists in Bellingham Review’s 2021 Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction.

“Miles” was a semi-finalist in the 2021 Sandy Crimmins National Prize for Poetry.

The emotional depth of ‘Take This Transmission for Instance’ that is embodied in the story of the transmission is admirable. The strong sense of detail supports this sense of loss and regret in a very moving way. As the poem continues, the voice only grows stronger into a beautiful love poem.

–Poet Jan Beatty
