She then studied script\, performance and sound/light/film tech at Estelle Harmon’s Actor’s Workshop\, earned an AFAW in creative writing on the old Institute for American Indian Arts campus in Santa Fe\, attended two Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics Summer Writing Programs\, and earned an MFA from Vermont College (1995)\, where she stayed for post-grad work. \nShe is the author of the poetry chapbook Year of the Rat (1996); the full-length poetry collections Dog Road Woman (1997)\, Off-Season City Pipe (2005)\, Blood Run (2006 UK\, 2007 US)\, Streaming (2014)\, an illustrated (by Dustin Illetewahke Mater) special edition Burn (2017); and the memoir Rock\, Ghost\, Willow\, Deer (2004\, 2014).
