She is also the winner of Narrative Magazine’s Eleventh Annual Poetry Contest, as well as the winner of New Millennium Writings’ 48th New Millennium Award for Poetry and AWP’s Kurt Brown Prize for Poetry. About King’s poems, judge Leslie Harrison wrote: “They contain, barely, their own difficult, gorgeous music. They read like they're setting a match to their own paper, they read like fire.” Recently, she became a winner of The Poetry Society’s 2024 National Poetry Competition for her poem “Inheritance,” chosen from over 20,000 entries, which was anthologized. In 2026, a poem of King’s was highly commended by Ishion Hutchinson for the 2026 Moth Poetry Prize, “one of the most prestigious for unpublished poems,” as featured in The Irish Times (2026).

King’s first manuscript is a National Poetry Series finalist, and she is a 2017 Tin House Workshop Scholar. In 2018, King graduated with a Master in Fine Arts in Creative Writing from The New School where she studied both fiction and poetry and was awarded a tuition scholarship and The Paul Violi Prize in Poetry. During her graduate studies, King became Deputy Poetry Editor for Alaska Quarterly Review, where she served from 2017-2020.
