  • Zine Planning for Mail Club

    This is going to be part bibliomancy zine, part creative prompt zine, and definitely pages to look at just for fun.

  • A studio update to show what I’ve been up to before and after my first market

    Shop all available art (as low as $5) and check out the care mail club membership on my ko-fi 🌟 the sticker ordered for members for the month of May is the collage about with the word now as the focal point. I love this piece and it reminds me of the importance of staying present. I am also working on a found poetry zine to enjoy, or to use as a creative prompt tool! I always include extra goodies in the shipments I send out, but care mail is generally an original artwork, a new sticker and a new zine every month. It’s my favorite offering at the moment 🌟 I should also note that Oracle art readings and collage paper packs can be found there as well.

    I appreciate you all!

    I also have 10 signed copies of my poetry book available here. You can also buy them (unsigned, and a bit cheaper) here. They are also available online at most major book retailers.

  • left behind: a poem

    not just debris

    from the storm

    fallen twigs and

    forgotten string

    small dwelling

    for growing

    found the ground

    from its

    sky-kissed perch

    oh, to scoop it up

    to hold this proof

    to dampen the structure

    with saltwater tears

    We are luckily safe after Fridays’ storms but there is damage throughout town.

  • Two collages and a haiku

    opportunistic

    robin plays bath splashing in

    puddles of fresh rain

  • Angst

    I know you’re upset

    But here

    I carved a space

    In my heart

    Meet me there 

    We’ll have tea

    Not too strong 

    So we can still 

    go to bed early

    We’ll talk about the 

    meaning of 

    Our matching fingerprints

    You scribble tears on your face

    With blue crayon

    They fall, rain from your cheeks

    Splash into your cup

    Allow me to drink it for you

    It’s been long enough

    You don’t have to do this alone

    “Wolf turn”

  • What remains

    Bald eagle

    circles with

    two vultures

    tending to death

    like the

    carcass of a deer

    or the

    decay of a nation

  • promises

    you could say

    hi pretty girl

    and i would look for who

    you’re speaking to

    certainly not this rib cage

    playing the song of

    hollow bones

    buried

    too much flesh

    bulging

    fabric too tight

    all wrong

    she’ll tell herself

    i’m  all wrong

    w a i t

    for words of kindness

    they do not come until

    aged hands from

    older me

    grasp my tiny fingers

    whispers triumphantly

    “you are not all wrong

    you are everything

    you are wonderful

    wonderful”
