Commentary:

“dance 101” won the 2012 Colorado Authors League Award for Poetry. The judge commented This is an exceptionally well-written poem. It has a confident rhythm and rich vowel sounds. There is a gentle, thoughtful intensity throughout. 

On Double exposure, judge Charles Cantalupo wrote: “Beautifully conveying time and place, she meshes scenes from childhood and adulthood, the relationship between father and daughter juxtaposed with birth and death. The haunted imagery brings depth to pain and fear, which transcends age and gender.”
