Her work has appeared on the building of Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and in Zen Monster, Inquiring Mind, “Angles of Ascent: A Norton Anthology of Contemporary African American Poetry,” “I’ll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women,” “Kindergarde: Avant-Garde Poems, Plays, & Stories for Children,” and “The Ecopoetry Anthology.” Her poems have appeared recently in “Best American Experimental Writing,” “What I Say: Innovative Poetry by Black Writers in America,” Volt, and “Hick Poetics: An Anthology of Contemporary Rural American Poetry.” Singleton has taught in museums, at California Institute of the Arts, Saint Mary’s College, Naropa University, and throughout the Bay Area as a California Poet in the Schools. She coordinates the Lunch Poems series at UC Berkeley and is the 2014-15 Visiting Writer-in-Residence at Sonoma State University.
