Writing

Writing was my first love. It began as a means of telling make-believe stories, a way for the tales in my head to spill onto pages and into the minds of readers. My love of fiction has spawned countless projects, including short stories, novels, comics, screenplays, and even poems.

Poetry, however, is a writing form I typically reserve for true events. Through spoken word, I attempt to aptly name the undiscussed hardships and pleasures of life, and ponder the existential questions I find most pressing. Due to some life-altering experiences with my body in recent years, my poetic work has come to focus on the mind-body connection, chronic pain, and emotional healing.

I hope you find meaning in each project you encounter here. From the most vulnerable poems to the most outlandish tales, may these words transport you somewhere you’ve never been… or somewhere you’d long forgotten.
