Most of my #poems start out as a sentence I'll write in my phone when I'm supposed to be doing something else.
Half of them are terrible.
Only a few survive.

I'm not a religious person by any stretch, but the verse Hosea 8:7 has been on my mind since hearing it said in a tv show weeks ago.

They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind

It feels uncomfortably accurate to my life, and the consequences of my own choices.

This time last week, I submitted my debut chapbook for the 2026 Rattle Chapbook Prize. At 33, this is the first poetry competition I've entered myself into.

I'm excited to share my poetry with the world.
