My first MFA term is officially under my belt! 🎉📚

I started the program wondering whether I was good enough and whether I belonged here.

Now, I know I do.

🌌 Another year under the same universe. 🌌

Years ago I climbed Arthur’s Seat above Edinburgh. From that summit, the world felt ancient and immense. That moment became my poem “Universe.”

Years ago, I stood on Arthur’s Seat—the ancient volcanic summit overlooking Edinburgh—with the wind rushing past and the entire city spread below me.

From that height, the world just felt immeasurable.

I didn’t yet know about the house fire—the rewriting. The weight life would carry.

But I was small inside something vast—and I was still here.

This month, I share Spoonful of Gravity.

I remember times of sitting on my grandmother's screened in porch, listening to the rustle of leaves in the oak tree nearby. It's branches provided a cool spot to rest during the heat of the day.

📝 New poem just dropped: Live, Laugh, Love, Literally

I didn’t dance. I watched from the edge.
I left. I came back.
I wrote this instead.

And yeah—
I chose the May Flowers.
