temp words
All we have is the moment the rest is fiction.
Impermanence saves me, betrays me, the constant flux of life. Sometimes I celebrate it, other times grief sets in like an immovable mountain.
These poems are journeys through grief, outrage, identity, temptation, and lastly transcendence.

National Book award-winning and best-selling author Isabel Allende introduced Alison and her debut novel Mostly White (Torrey House Press, 2018) at Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA.

Her new novel The In-between Sky (Mumblers Press, 2025) is available now.
Hart’s work centers on her Black and Indigenous ancestors from New England, healing intergenerational/historical trauma, mixed-race identity, and uncovering the brutal truth of American history. Hart studied theater at Tisch School of The Arts, New York University (B.F.A.), and education at Saint Mary’s College (M.A.). She is a mixed-race Passamaquoddy Native American, Irish, Black, Scottish, and English woman of color. Hart is an author, musician, music educator and mother living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
