Bookleaf Press Collections: An Arc of Almost, Everyday Miracles
Numbered Days, Infinite Hope is a collection of poems that address the pain of our current political and social climate along with the possibility of a better future through our collective action to bring about change. In a world shaken by division and uncertainty, this collection illustrates how words can heal the human spirit.
My Heartshell is a collection of shards from my childhood glued together into a mosaic like stained glass. Each poem is a remnant of memory sewn into a patchwork quilt, a white phantom like my name full of universal truths and traumas that will provide validation and healing for my readers.
This is Not a Drill is a collection of poems that sheds light on the nuances of what it means to be a teacher with doubts and struggles we experience no one likes to talk about from suicide and school shootings to being a school mom for those without one.
Rainbows & Unicorns. First, there’s the hurt. Then comes the healing. And the bridge from one to the other are stepping-stone words on a page. There are many truths and realities in any family, but one thing’s for sure. Ask each member of that family, and their truth will differ from yours; after all, truth is just perception, and not all of it is rainbows and unicorns.
