Purple Heart

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." - Nietzche
This book is 10 years in the making. I wanted to release into the wild, the emotions in me that did not belong with each other, but seemed inseparable just the same. At the core of all my poems is a sentiment waiting to be felt, so I hope you give it a chance to ripple through your core and make home in your soul.
These poems encompass everything from my conversations with peace to my walks with surly poets, heavenly games to rotting crops. I hope the poems let you step out of yourself and experience the world through someone else's emotional lens. And I hope the poem you read today is undeniably everything you ever needed from life. Just for today.
