"Incomplete Quadriplegia" (Spring, 2024 winner of the Dogwood Poetry Prize, published in Dogwood: A Journal of Poetry and Prose). From Alison Joseph, contest judge: “This haunting poem brings the reader to a moment of extreme crisis. It’s a vital, beautifully crafted poem—but that craft does not disguise the trauma (and drama) of the high stakes situation at hand. Poems that make me feel compassion without pity are rare. ‘Incomplete Quadriplegia’ does this succinctly and artfully.”

“The Mammoth Steppe” Spoon River Poetry Review  (Published 2020 in Stone River Poetry Review, winner of 2019 prize in poetry.  From the introduction to the poem: "'The Mammoth Steppe' is about this resilience, especially the resilience of the speaker, the human. We can trace such resilience in what these stanzas refuse to turn away from, and in the long view of time they take. It is refreshing and restorative to read a poem this ambitious, beautiful, and whole unto itself. I will not forget it." --Rachel Webster, contest judge http://srpr.org/contest.phppoem)
