My books: poetry for profound living
Welcome to the heart of my work. Here you’ll find poetry collections rooted in lived experience, exploring fracture, recovery, devotion, and the quiet work of repair. Each book offers a distinct emotional journey, inviting reflection, recognition, and resonance. My hope is that somewhere in these pages, you find language for something you’ve lived, carried, or longed to name.
We Chose Repair
We Chose Repair is a contemporary poetry collection exploring family fracture, addiction and recovery, religious trauma, generational silence, and national division. Rooted in lived experience, these poems ask what honesty, accountability, and repair require of us after harm.
It’s for readers drawn to emotionally unflinching, socially conscious poetry that names damage without giving up on care.
The Ritual of Living
The Ritual of Living is a contemporary poetry collection exploring sobriety, nervous system repair, marriage, body memory, aging, and spiritual grounding without certainty. Rooted in the quiet work of healing, these poems reflect on what it means to build a life through repetition, presence, and everyday devotion.
It’s for readers drawn to reflective, embodied poetry that finds meaning not in dramatic transformation, but in the steady practice of staying.
Join the conversation
Beyond the pages of my books, I invite you to become part of a thoughtful community. My work aims to help readers explore what comes after harm - how to live once fracture has been named. If themes of fracture, repair, recovery, devotion, and the practice of staying resonate with you, consider joining my newsletter. It’s where I share occasional reflections, updates on new work, and invitations to readings or collaborations. Let's build a steady, meaningful connection around these vital conversations.
