Her first book of poems, Many Small Fires (Black Lawrence Press, 2015), won Foreword Reviews’ silver medal award in poetry. Both poetry books weave together personal experience and scientific exploration. She is also the author of two award-winning poetry chapbooks and the editor of The Poetics of American Song Lyrics.

Alumni and friends of The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) came together to ensure the inspirational efforts of long-time faculty member Dr. Thomas V. Fraschillo will be recognized with the naming of the Dr. Thomas V. Fraschillo Stage inside the Mannoni Performing Arts Center on USM’s Hattiesburg campus.


The fundraising effort began in January 2022 and was completed in July, totaling more than $109.5 thousand contributed by 192 University alumni, faculty, staff and friends, many of whom were former colleagues and students of Fraschillo. While the stage will be named in Fraschillo’s honor, all funds raised established an endowed scholarship for band students at USM.
