Klein Prize, and has been a three-time finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize. Her recent books include Expeditions of a Chimæra (co-written with Oana Avasilichioaei), a book of essays,My Beloved Wager, and a reissue of her 1999 limited edition Pillage Laud. Her twelve books of poetry in translation include Sheep's Vigil by a Fervent Person by Alberto Caeiro/Fernando Pessoa, Nicole Brossard's Notebook of Roses and Civilization (co-translated with Robert Majzels), and Galician poet Chus Pato's acclaimed m-Talá, Charenton and Hordes of Writing.
