What are you working on?

I just put in the finishing round of edits on my short fiction collection, Breaking Right, that is due out this fall with Porcupine’s Quill. It is short fiction set in Indiana that uses a lot of Hoosier folk tales as its basis. Poetically, the final touches are going into my sixth full poetry collection, Go Down Odawa Way. A decolonial homage to the southern Three-Fires traditional territories. Wrapping up the Canada Council Grant for that in conjunction with the final edits. And I am very early into a new poetry manuscript, Commonwealth, that explores borders and migrations in area of the American Midwest.
