For all the other things.
Big News!
My first book will be coming out in 2024 with Belle Point Press!
About the book: Primarily composed of lyric essays, Sensitive Creatures looks at the traumatic effects of sexual assault, exploring the wreckage we do to ourselves and the healing, for better and worse, that takes place after. Each essay includes a different animal link to help blend the relationship between the subject matter and the natural world, exploring the endless cycles that bind us to our surroundings.
So exciting!
