Three of my poems, When the Door Stayed Open, What Silence Is For, and Instructions for Growing Something That Hurts First, appear in Soul Poetry, Prose & Arts Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 3 (Summer 2025).

 

I am honored that Instructions for Growing Something That Hurts First was awarded Best Poetry in the Summer issue contest.

​

These poems reflect on memory, grief, and the quiet ways we carry tenderness forward, even when it aches.
