"But sometimes
Poetry is nothing but us
Taking the shards of glass out of our skin
Screaming."

Buy My Poetry Book!
My debut poetry collection, "Apple Pies and Black Cherries" is now available for purchase!
Giving a poetic twist to the Carl Sagan Quote "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," Apple Pies and Black Cherries is a beautiful, perceptive, and deeply human anthology dealing with the nature of Love and its link to our experience of life itself.
Because sometimes love means creating the universe from scratch.
