I’m glad to share that three of my poems appear in the Winter 2025 issue of Door Is A Jar.

​

This issue brings together work that sits quietly with the everyday. The domestic moments we move through without ceremony. The losses we measure in inches instead of words. The ways beauty keeps insisting on itself even when we are tired, flooded, or holding things together with whatever is at hand.

The poems included are:

​

“After the Flood”
A poem about salvage and intimacy. About what we try to save after water has passed through a house and a life. It moves through loss, memory, and the strange tenderness of sleeping close when the world feels newly unstable.

​

“Still Life With Laundry”
A meditation on repetition and grace. Tuesday chores, forgotten kettles, misplaced socks. The poem lingers in that small, stubborn beauty that rises anyway. The kind you don’t plan for but recognize once it appears.

​

“Chorus of the Ordinary”
A collective voice of barely-managed days. Skipping radios, spilled coffee, quiet understandings between strangers. It holds the idea that most of us are improvising our way through the day, showing up even when the ask feels heavy.

​

I’m grateful to Door Is A Jar for creating space for work that honors ordinary life without flinching from its weight. The Winter 2025 issue is out now, and it’s a joy to be part of it.
