All of my writing manifests from poetry — the bones of my writing life.

I earned an MFA from Mills College, where I studied with Truong Tran, Juliana Spahr, and Stephen Ratcliffe. I am the recipient of the Mary Merritt Henry Prize for Poetry.

I am currently writing my debut collection of poetry, Solastalgia.


Taking her cue from the world of visual art, Lindsey sets about the task of writing through the painstaking discipline of collecting. Words, images, ideas, and inquiries are all carefully catalogued and framed as art through the form of poetry within a cabinet of curiosity. It serves as both a documentation and inquiry of our time. I’ve witnessed this collection grow through the course of several years from a loose box of ideas, images, and trinkets into a carefully curated narrative of the poet’s consciousness. She has constructed a text that insists upon the simultaneous experience of looking, listening, seeing, and reading into a dioramic world. Unlike the diorama however, this world is full of complications and is ever evolving. Upon engagement with the poems, a single question is asked time and time again, of both the reader and the writer. What does it mean to be human in this changing environment?
