Preface:
There’s no way to get around it. Self-publishing is an act of ego. It’s like running for office, being a communist, becoming an influencer, or donating sperm. The presumption that the world would be better off with more of my influence is innately arrogant.
So, welcome. This is the digital space where I will publish poems, essays, and letters. A week ago, I was sifting through old journals and word docs, and I realizing that there were some things that I would like to share. I hope that something you read or hear stirs you in a way that causes you to have more gratitude and grace. That’d make this worth it.
Thanks for reading. Do something noteworthy today.
Included behind the paywall is a poem about pride and longing.
