Download this powerful poetry book for FREE

Free poetry book

For a limited time, you can download Night Cycles, my premiere poetry collection, for free!

Night Cycles is a lyrical collection of poems about life's deepest questions & brightest moments, all spun out under the wandering moon. Do you dare to step into the vulnerable black whose name is your own?

awaken. revel in the heat of your own flames. feel the drum beat throbbing in your gut, the searing nearness of the sacred fires, the slap of your bared soles against earth as you dance in the ash and embers of your own waking.

you were made for the light, for spirit and sinew, for the uncertain dark, for hands holding hands holding hands.

the song begins. you are not alone.

A Free Writing Challenge to Inspire Your New Year

Want to close out the year mindfully and creatively? Welcome the new one with hope and groundedness?

I have a FREE (and very gentle) writing and creativity challenge to help you do just that.

Introducing the…

What it’s all about:

Writing. We love it. We need it. We don’t always have time for it. Especially during the winter holidays.

And you write (or otherwise creative) on those, one at a time, over the course of December and January, as you are able, with zero guilt if we can’t quite swing all of it.

Are you in? Let’s do this thing:

1. First, enter your email to receive the nine prompts delivered to your inbox daily, starting immediately upon subscription (don’t worry, it’s free!):

My new poetry book will blow the top of your head off

my new poetry book, I Promised I Tried, is out now!

it will blow the top of your head off, Emily Dickinson-style.

my new book is here! It's been a year and a half in the making, and I'm feeling All the Things (TM):

excited. 

terrified. 

exhilarated. 

trying not to think about it too much. 

thinking about this and only this. 

like I said...all the things.

let me just say right now that I am so proud of this book. so proud. it runs the full gamut of emotions, from curiosity to anger and grief to courage and, ultimately, to love.

if I'm feeling All the Feelings today, this book contains a lot of those Feelings. capital F.

but, while feelings can be uncomfortable, feeling them is the key. if we repress them, they turn to poison, but felt, they are a key to healing and freedom. and these days, there are SO many things for us to feel process, and heal.

I hope that this book is a key, or a map to a key.

I hope that this book helps you feel the things that need to be felt and, in doing so, moves you toward healing and wholeness.

I hope that this book encourages you, that it makes you feel less alone.

I hope this book gives you hope. we all are in desperate need of more hope these days.

I Promise I Tried is chaos and calm, quiet and calamity. it’s what happened when I tried to write a book of happy poetry. this came out instead.

it is, I suppose, the book I needed to write. and now, I hope that it gets to be the book you needed to read.

regardless, thank you for being on this journey with me. thank you for reading/liking/commenting/sharing/following/patron-ing/subscribing to my work and, in doing so, encouraging me to create more of it. I could not have done it without you. thank you.

I Promise I Tried is out now in paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited. I hope it meets you where you're at, and gives you what your sweet but tired soul is craving.

I Promise I Tried

Poetry for Losing & Finding Yourself

Out now!

Are you struggling to feel connected to your truest self in these profoundly disconnecting times? This book is for you…

I Promise I Tried is a searingly passionate poetry collection exploring the power of telling the whole truth in hard times. These words will stoke your audacity to not just survive but thrive in the tension between hope and grief, curiosity and fear, and love and loss. 

These poems carry you on a healing journey through the minefields and miracles of being a human living with a heart thrown wide open.

In addition to the book’s four sections that delve into curiosity, grief, courage, and love, enjoy poems that examine themes of motherhood, mental health, current events, and creativity.

Part revelation, part celebration, and wholly penned with power, this exhilarating and encouraging collection will tend your wounds, fire up your fearlessness, and leave you cheering for the endurance of love.
