I am a poet, translator, and performer working across idiosyncratic transcription exercises. my work explores methods and resources of personal archiving in multiple languages and non-languages (Albanian, French, English), surfaces (paper, screen, text), and forms (poetry, sound, video) to explore the limits of legibility and self.

I wrote the poetry collection Drank, Recruited (Guernica Editions, 2023), which won the 2024 Nelson Ball Prize. You can order it here. My second book, BED YEAR, is forthcoming in 2027.

I am a co-founder and performer with the Toronto Experimental Translation Collective, who attempt to push the practices of translation beyond the tongue and further into the body.

I am on the editorial collective of Barricade: A Journal of Antifascism & Translation who bring important political and poetic texts into the English speaking-world for the first time.

I am currently  a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature (Research-Creation) at the University of Toronto, where I study women’s poetic life-writing, and how such a life comes to be.
