How do you stitch yourself back together after trauma, loss, grief, heartbreak? By inviting what is broken to become what is breathtaking. THE BODY is a collection of poems and short stories written in lyrical prose during the hardest moments of the author's life. This collection explores themes of love, loss, grief, seduction, creativity, consciousness, female empowerment, post- traumatic expansion, and the collective human experience. Because when words are not enough, art is the container that holds what the body cannot. And as the heart breaks open, the soul can be set free. 


Be A Surrealist


Be a surrealist.

A beautiful life defies logic and conditioning.

It laughs in the face of convention and dares us to open ourselves to the terror of the possible–

…to lean into sorrow of joy’s inevitable departure.

Whichever dream cannot leave your mind, court her.

Lure her to your bed

and cook her breakfast in the morning.

For the moments you spend together in lock step will feel unreal and uncharted,

And the times you are apart will be beige with dry mouth.

Know this: everything that is not for you feels normal,

And everything that is yours

will terrify, seduce, and astound you with life surreal.
