A Ceremony

A collection of mixed-genre poems

Emerging from research that I conducted while a 2021 Masterson fellow at the University of Oklahoma’s Western History Collections, the poems from this forthcoming collection explore white adjacency, Jim Crow legacies in Oklahoma, and U.S. militarism’s interior lives rooted in class and settler-colonial social experiments.

Poems from the manuscript in preparation have been published in Pleiades and supported by a Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship and a Minnesota State Arts Board “Creative Support for Individuals” grant.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
