When the world overwhelms, when the news is all bad, when chaos threatens, I make art.

Howdy! I live in Austin, Texas, and this is my first marathon. I’m giving the half marathon a go, and we’ll see what happens with it. I’ve been actively writing poetry since 2019 (with a small burst around 1997 before that), and really dove into it during the pandemic.

Poetry has become part of my growth and healing process, and it’s become integral to my sense of self.

I’m looking forward to seeing what I create in this, and in seeing what other creations I get to see.
