Falling – March 2025 Release

Full-length book of poetry – Falling.

Falling takes on the ethos of being earth-and sky-bound, freefalling and falling apart, falling in love, falling together, and falling within the deepest and most vulnerable halls of the soul. The spirit-essence in the poems fearlessly skydives amongst ancestral memories of the self while windsurfing along twisted and illusionary skyscapes—only to land, after a series of unexpected descents, where brilliant pockets of suspension of identity can finally reveal themselves. The poems embrace the universal, triumphs and tragedies, when the heart finally opens, mixing with an earthly-confusion of injuries, tracing the infinite lines of a traveling show — and the lessons of dust devils in an attempt to leave the heart unscarred, unbarred. Unbound.

Burn Scars is a full-length collection of creative nonfiction essays that push against the hardscape and how to live with the burn scars left behind by the California wildfires, both physically and emotionally.

The thematic motifs of the essays include being a caregiver, loss, survivor’s guilt, and grief, while living a dual existence near the southern Yosemite National Park and Monterey Bay, California–amongst the backdrop of a pandemic and wildfire evacuations.
