I’m excited to share that I have a new poetry collection entitled, A WEATHERED SHIP, coming out! This collection is the most raw/ personal I’ve ever written, w/ many of the poems delving into anxiety, depression, and mental health struggles I’ve faced—and still navigate. But it’s not without hope.

Poetry is meant to be experienced aloud. That’s why, when I read poetry, I prefer to find a quiet place where I can read it out loud—it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
