phases
phases is a journey through the different seasons life can have, from the passion and heat of summer to the cold grief of winter. It collects poems spanning roughly a decade of the author’s life, often using a confessional style to blend candid observations of the world with emotional reflection. It is, ultimately, a journey of healing, and seeing the world in different ways.
From the back cover: just as the seasons burn, fade, freeze and bloom again, we too move through our phases.I hope this meets you where you are, whatever you are growing through.
Eat the Sky
Eat the Sky is a celebration of love in all of its forms.
Drawing on natural imagery and everyday beauty, this collection is one for friends, lovers, and those inspired by nature. Exploring themes of compassion, self-love, friendship, loyalty, passion, hope and ultimately connection, it is a warm poetic hug in a world that often feels cold and indifferent.
From the back:
For anyone who has felt their heart swell, leaned into the warmth of a friend’s arms, had their breath stolen by the beauty of a sunrise, or felt their heart flutter at their lover’s smile, this collection is a celebration of the love we find in the world and ourselves
Capture the Beauty
Many people are familiar with the overwhelm of the blank page. It is the bane of those with creative blocks, and a barrier to those just starting a creative practice.
Capture the Beauty will help you ease into a writing practice. It has a flexible format, but if done in order, the prompts increase from fairly “easy” to gradually more involved and reflective. With enough prompts to last approximately a month, accented with short poems and photographs, this collection will help guide you to capturing everyday beauty in writing.
From the back:
Ease into your writing practice with this creative companion, drawing on the everyday beauty around and within you for reflection and inspiration.
