prose /prōz/
In both fiction and nonfiction, I love exploring elements of the transgressive, particularly through the lenses of queer seuxality and religion.
My fiction inspirations include Sally Rooney, Donal Ryan, Amal El-Mohtar, and Rachel Cusk; in nonfiction, they include Mary Oliver, Mary Karr, Carmen Maria Machado, and Anaïs Nin.
