I am the author of two books: a novel, "Tomato Girl," published by Algonquin Books in 2008 and a book of poems.
My short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. I have received multiple Pushcart Prize nominations.
In a review of "Tomato Girl," the Library Journal wrote: "Pupek's debut is a wrenching, stunning, and pitch-perfect novel that captures the best of Southern literature's finest storytelling colors. Highly recommended."
