Praise for Cartography: A Meditation on Mapping Home
“Cartography is a nuanced and poetic view of what constitutes a home and how what fills those vessels--hearts, minds, bodies, and memories-- are ever in flux, moving between the solid present and the ghosts of the past. Yvette Green allows readers to travel with her as she draws, explores, and then expands the boundaries of what home can contain. It's through her exploration of family, place, and history that we learn how it feels to find a sense of belonging while still being brave enough to leave and build a place of one's own." —Athena Dixon, author of The Incredible Shrinking Woman and The Loneliness Files
My chapbook is available for purchase through Finishing Line Press, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.
Praise for Between Sunsets
“Alternating between sharing insight on crafting a poem and insight on losing someone close, Yvette Green‘s poetry collection chooses love at every turn of the page. An ode to survival through divorce, death and incessant busyness, Green’s poems are thoughtful reflections that tug on heartstrings, question Providence and memorializes the sacredness of female friendships. A full-bodied offering that will resonate with anyone who has suffered and survived.”
–Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman, author of For the Girls Who Do Too Much and The Summoning of Black Joy, and Former Poet Laureate of Prince George’s County.
Yvette has grown to love go-go music, a wonderful byproduct of making the DMV home.

She currently teaches composition courses at two local colleges. Two sons awe and inspire her. A freelance writer, essayist, memoirist and poet, she experiments with form and sometimes weaves verse into her creative nonfiction.
