Honored to be named co-winner of the Snapshot Press 2026 eChapbook Award for Requiem for Lewis, scheduled to be released in 2027! My chapbook is about the photographer Lewis Hine and his photographs of child laborers, particularly those who worked in southern textile mills. Three of my grandparents worked in the mill, two as children. My other grandparent, my father’s father, owned a small cafe next to the mill. In Requiem for Lewis, I wrap their stories into Hine’s.
