edit data

My writing leans to weird, haunting, grotesque, and surrealist, and gothic, influenced by childhood trauma, ecology, and a neurodivergent mindscape. In the same vein as Laurie Halse Anderson, Ocean Vuong, Franny Choi, and Katherine Dunn, I’m passionate about poetry featuring narratives based upon regaining voice, autonomy, familial trauma and history, both autobiographical and drawn from modern tales and mythology.

Ugly Egg (Melodia Excerpt)

An excerpt from the most popular poem in my spooky poetry collection, MELODIA (available via Lulu.com or as e-ARC for reviewers).

THE UGLY EGG ~

Once, an egg had cracked its head,
out the fissures poems it bled,
mutterings of black Elmer glue,
They’re going to get you~

A darkness revealed feathered friends won’t let in,
so forbidden tales a smiley face gated within,
self-exploration smiling egg forsake Read more of this blog post »
