My books: poetry for profound living
Welcome to the heart of my work. Here you’ll find my poetry collections, crafted to explore the intricate landscape of human experience—from fracture and recovery to devotion and the quiet power of repair. Each book offers a unique journey, inviting you to reflect, feel, and find resonance within its pages. Discover the stories told in verse, and perhaps, find a piece of your own.
We chose repair
This debut collection delves into the difficult but vital work of repair. Through poems on family fracture, addiction and recovery, religious trauma, generational silence, public cruelty, and national division, "We Chose Repair" offers a moral reckoning without losing sight of hope. I want readers to feel seen in their anger and grief, yet challenged toward accountability and healing. It is steady, reflective, and emotionally direct, providing a space for honest engagement with personal and collective harm.
The ritual of living
Turning towards healing in the aftermath, "The Ritual of Living" explores themes of sobriety, nervous system repair, marriage as daily devotion, body memory, aging, and spiritual grounding without certainty. This collection embodies a quieter, more embodied feeling, inviting readers to experience steadiness—less spectacle, more practice. It’s about choosing presence in ordinary life and discovering that healing is built through repetition and small rituals, rather than dramatic transformation. Find solace and wisdom in the 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.

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.
