Mission
The Margins exists to cultivate a practice of attention.
Through poetry and conversations, I explore the ordinary places where meaning quietly accumulates. I invite readers to look again—to notice what has been overlooked, question what seems familiar, and discover language for experiences that often remain unnamed.
I believe that the most meaningful truths are rarely hidden; they're simply woven so deeply into everyday life that we've stopped seeing them. What happens when we begin to treat ordinary women's lives as worthy of art, history, ritual, and myth?
Sometimes looking again changes what you see. Sometimes it gives you the words to say it anyway.
What You'll Find Here

Looking Again—monthly reflections on ordinary moments, objects, and rituals that deserve a second look.
Behind the Scenes glimpses into the writing life and the making of new work.
Why "The Margins"?
The margins are where readers question, teachers respond, and writers discover what belongs beside the story as much as within it. They are spaces
of curiosity, revision, and second thoughts—places where meaning expands instead of ends.
Women have often been expected to live in the margins: at the edges of power, expectation, and language. Yet the margins have never been empty.
They are full of quiet courage, invisible labor, overlooked stories, and truths waiting to be recognized.
The Margins is where overlooked stories come into focus.
