I am a writer and professor in Calgary, Alberta, on Treaty 7 territory. 

I have published two books of poetry, The Nonnets and The Loneliness Machine, and my essays have appeared in The Walrus, Maclean's, Jacobin, and Literary Review of Canada, among other venues. My recent research focuses on socioeconomic class in Canadian arts and culture. 

I also produce and co-host Sweater Weather, a podcast and live events series about Canadian arts and culture. 

I teach at Mount Royal University and Bow Valley College.
