My New Book is Finally Here. Top Story - January 2026.
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

How to Survive Your Brother's Wedding
You're reading this three hours before the reception. That's fine. That's completely fine. Take a breath. I've been where you are standing in a hotel bathroom, tie half knotted, wondering why you didn't write this speech during the six months you've had since your brother asked you. But we don't have time for self-reflection. We have work to do.
