I’m excited to share that I have a new poetry collection entitled, A WEATHERED SHIP, coming out! This collection is the most raw/ personal I’ve ever written, w/ many of the poems delving into anxiety, depression, and mental health struggles I’ve faced—and still navigate. But it’s not without hope.

Wonderful to connect here, Patricia! And I’d love a copy, though I know the shipping is terrible from the UK to US. If cost is prohibitive and you have a e-version I’d also be happy to read and share!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one either, Susan!

Poetry is meant to be experienced aloud. That’s why, when I read poetry, I prefer to find a quiet place where I can read it out loud—it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
