A creative and justice-rooted way of listening for the sacred.
Welcome
Poetic theology is the practice of attending to theological questions not only with the mind, but with breath, body, metaphor, and silence.
It is not a method I mastered—it is a way of being that continues to form me as I teach, write, lead, and listen.
As a white queer feminist theologian shaped by decades of liturgical scholarship and spiritual accompaniment, I write poetry, essays, and reflections as a way of exploring grief, justice, hope, memory, queerness, and sacred presence.
“Language becomes liturgy. Metaphor becomes method. Story becomes scholarship.”

Why Poetic Theology?
Poetic theology honors the quiet edge of knowing. It makes space for those who speak not with volume, but with layered presence.
For me, this is not a turn away from the academy—it is a deepening of what theological formation can become when we center kindness, embodiment, and silence.
“I write not to persuade but to accompany. Not to explain but to evoke.”
