This project narrates the experience and impact of a broken relationship between a person and a church by allegorizing the relationship as one between two people. The poems included in the project explore issues of faith, identity, church culture, and race in America. Central themes include faith, forgiveness, and hope.

A personal reflection on my time in the classroom—a collection of poetry, prose, and micro-essays that pull back the curtain on the unseen weight teachers carry and the quiet courage it takes to return each morning, until one day you do not.

A collection of place poems that map and reroute memories of the places I’ve lived, including New York, Oklahoma, Illinois, Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas.

A collection of stories centered around individuals, their names, and the unique stories behind them.
