Exposure

The facade breaks. The turning point arrives. The centerpiece poem, 12:30 AM, details the night the violence can no longer be ignored, when the speaker is attacked, strangled, and finally escapes. From that point on, every poem becomes a step out of denial. This section tells the truth that has been buried beneath excuses and shame. This wasn’t dysfunction. This was abuse. It was real. It was physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological.

Order of Poems & Prose: 12:30 AM – Burn – Thanksgiving – December 12th, 2024 – Echoes – Agoraphobia – Berks – Split Memory – Creaks – Trauma Bond – 2024 (prose) – Shadows

Read Letters I'll Never Send

What began as court documents, voicemails, and text messages became something more. It's a story about survival, truth-telling, and the long, sacred work of healing.

Letters I’ll Never Send is a raw, autobiographical collection of poems and prose written through the aftermath of emotional abuse. It speaks for the moments you couldn’t. It says what was never safe to say out loud.

Ordering the print edition includes exclusive poems and reflections not available online—and directly supports outreach efforts for survivors of domestic abuse.

This book is for the ones who made it out, and the ones still finding their way.
