Current Research
I received an MFA from New York University as a New York Times Fellow in Poetry. I have received additional fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, The Cave Canem Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, The Seaside Institute, The Lotos Club Foundation, and a translation grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. And I currently serve as an Associate Editor of the literary journal, Callaloo. In 2007, the manuscript for my first book, Totem, was a finalist for the National Poetry Series, a semifinalist for the Walt Whitman Award, and was chosen by Brenda Hillman as winner of the American Poetry Review/ Honickman Prize. Poems, reviews and translations have appeared in American Poetry Review, Callaloo, Gulf Coast, Harvard Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, Ploughshares, Seneca Review, Volt, on National Public Radio and elsewhere. Beyond poetry, my interests include African American Literature, Literary Translation, and Literary Theory and Criticism.
