what's coming
Home of everything I make — the poetry books, the essays, the Substack, the soul work. Every piece earns its place. You found me through one of them. You're going to want the rest.
A collection of poems written from the shoreline of one woman's reclamation — about what gets handed to you, what you set down, and what the water gives back when you finally stop fighting the current.
The first book in a poetry series. The fire one is on its way.
Buy the book Read a poemThe fire book, written in real time. Plus poems, essays, and field notes from the middle of it — new work first, before it lives anywhere else.
The short version — three chapters, one throughline.
i founded Lake Effect Co. it's under new ownership now — but i bought the Instagram back to reconnect with this space, and with you. that's most likely how you found your way here.
i kept feeling like something wasn't quite right. i'd make micro changes until, finally, a series of events lit my life — as i knew it — on fire. i had to build a life on my own terms. the water book sets the stage; the fire book takes us through the burn and the phoenix rise.
the fire book is being written now, in public, on Have a Great Now. plus the poems, the essays, the soul work. you're not getting the after — you're getting the during. you're early. stay.
