I write books the way some people keep journals, or cast spells. Each one begins with a question: What's worth answering, what haunts, what refuses to be googled.
Invasions
"Invasions: The Book" emerged as poetry responses to scam texts, evolving into meditation on identity and poetic resistance. Written during pandemic anxieties, these verses reclaim manipulative language as lyric, transforming intrusion into ritual. The collection treats spam as spell, exploring what occurs when language aims to extract rather than connect.
Flight of the Jaguar
A computational poetry work merging printed bookwork with virtual embodiment, exploring sluthood, queer kinship, and migratory identity through shape-shifting metaphors of plants and fugitive desires. Published via Kickstarter on textured, beige paper without author attribution — intentionally. The jaguar, fast and elusive, became central metaphor. Using Quill, a looping VR illustration rendered the flying jaguar as perpetual ascent.
In the Name of Scandal
This collection addresses sluthood, queer migration, and spiritual exhaustion — "a manual for surviving the postmodern collapse of sincerity." The text oscillates between theological tone and street vernacular, treating poetry as flesh, as "the hand on your back when no other hand is there." It refuses disembodied irony, insisting on tenderness as resistance. Formally blending text with hand-drawn illustrations and collage.
Deep & Fast
A book of poetic responses to questions harvested from the internet. Beginning with common inquiries and stranger ones, each poem recognizes that no question stands alone — all carry ancestries of heartbreak and societal pressure. Adopting strategies of Glenn Ligon's stencils and Jenny Holzer's aphorisms, the work treats found language as holy. Pocket-sized and lo-fi, it rejects self-help's forced optimism — "a long, looping attempt to unask the question."
