Slip Slidin' Away
I wanted to write a piece named after a song, so I decided to write this piece.
The Mark You Left
This piece expresses the mix of love, hurt, and the marks people leave on us.
My Soul is Pink and Shared
This prose originated from a Meditation I do every night in which I imagine my energy reaching down to the earth and up to the sky to ground myself and eventually I found myself doing that whenever I felt anxious or unsure.
Tied to You/Her/Home
This collection explores different relationships through short, emotionally-driven poems.
Behind Closed Doors
This piece holds a very special place in my heart, bringing awareness to what’s not always seen — what’s hidden behind closed doors.
Tutu/Happy Birthday
After unexpectedly losing one of my grandmothers (whom I was very close to), I wrote a poetry portfolio dedicated to her.
Fear to Clarity of Loss
I wrote this poem by taking parts of how I’d been feeling during a breakup of a long term relationship.
Fragments of Becoming
This poem explores identity through moments of self-doubt and reflection.
When the Fish Fought Back
This piece is a look at the primal nature that exists within all creatures.
The Drawer
My work captures a childhood memory of two girls stealing a strawberry cough drop from a teacher’s desk, or perhaps three possible versions of how it might have happened.
Water Slide Memoir
This was something that was initially for a school assignment, but I thought it showcased my writing well.
Surface Tension
My flash fiction piece explores the tension between perception and reality through the voice of an unreliable narrator.
