Stroke, Stroke
Finishing Line Press, 2026
Stroke, Stroke is a chapbook of poems that chronicles the before, during, and aftermath of experiencing an ischemic stroke, from a (mostly) non-medical, irreverent, sometimes awkwardly humorous perspective. The book explores the process of having and recovering from a stroke, and the miraculous ability of the human brain to heal and transform itself.
Hysterian
Finishing Line Press, 2025
Hysterian is a full-length book of poems about midlife and beyond. It's about aging as a slow and sometimes shadowy carnival. It's about losing parents, betrayals of the body, and the changing nature of love as we age. It's about new realizations, letting go of old resentments, and reasons to wonder at and celebrate the wisdom season of our lives.
