Enter the quieter room
Step into a space for profound connection and reflective thought. My newsletter offers exclusive insights, early drafts, and personal meditations that extend beyond my published works. Join a community dedicated to healing, recovery, and the enduring practice of staying.

Beyond the published pages
Discover reflections that delve deeper than the books themselves—short essays, behind-the-scenes thoughts on the intricate writing process, and personal meditations on themes close to my heart: recovery, devotion, accountability, and the quiet practice of staying. You'll find early drafts, lines that didn't make it into final manuscripts, and occasional exclusive poems or readings before their public release. This is where the unseen work comes to light.

Cultivate authentic connection
Joining my newsletter means stepping into a more intentional, quieter space than social media can offer. You’ll gain early access to new poems, reflections that complement and extend the themes of my books, and behind-the-scenes insights into my creative journey. You'll also receive invitations to intimate readings or collaborations before they're announced anywhere else. This isn't just about updates; it's about fostering an ongoing conversation around fracture, repair, and the journey of building a life after hardship. If my books resonated with you, this newsletter continues that dialogue on a more personal level.

A space for steady reflection
I aim to send my newsletter once or twice a month, ensuring each issue feels thoughtful, unhurried, and deeply intentional, rather than purely promotional. My hope is that every newsletter leaves you with a sense of steadiness—something reflective you can sit with, whether it's a new poem, a short meditation on recovery or devotion, or a quiet question to carry into your week. The core message I want subscribers to embrace is this: healing is a journey built slowly, and you are truly not alone in the profound work of staying.
