Her third co-translated book, Distantly, by 2019 Griffin Poetry Award winner Nicole Brossard, is forthcoming in 2022. Also known for her criticism, she has published many essays on poetry and three co-edited editions, including the first edition of H.D.’s The Sword Went Out to Sea (Synthesis of a Dream), by Delia Alton (UP of Florida, 2007).
