His work has also been featured multiple times on Poetry Daily and in The Second Set, a jazz poetry anthology edited by Yusef Komunyakaa and Sascha Feinstein. The title poem of his first book, Evidence of the Journey (Harmon Blunt, 2007), received the Friends of Literature Prize from POETRY magazine/Poetry Foundation and was also runner up for the Shenandoah/Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers. In manuscript form, the book had been a finalist for the Walt Whitman Prize (Academy of American Poets), Yale Younger Poets Prize, Brittingham/Pollak Prize, Kathryn Morton Prize, Wick Prize, and New Issues Prize. His latest collection of poems, Surface Fugue, was released by EastOver Press in 2021. In previous manifestations, Surface Fugue was a semi-finalist for the National Poetry Series and a finalist for the Lena-Miles Wever Todd Poetry Prize, the May Swenson Poetry Award, and the Cider Press Review Book Award.
