this is my first poetry booklet and so it includes some of my earliest work. i spent a long time looking back at my old poems, as well as a lot of old thoughts and feelings, and then compiled many of them into what felt at the time like a kind of farewell. it was a cathartic process and i had fun putting it together even if parts of it were painful. included in the pdf are many of my own photographs so it also serves as a showcase for that.
if you would prefer a text-only html version with just the poems then please click here instead. this text-only version also has notes on some of the poems explaining where i was coming from and what i was aiming for.

the booklet totals 40 pages including the covers and has roughly as many poems.

talk2u (coming soon)

to try something new, i've been writing a series of poems intended for spoken word and turning them into a mini-album.
at the moment it's called 'talk2u' and is about ten minutes long but i'm still slowly switching things up and don't know when it will be finished.
