Between the Spark and the End (YA contemporary novel)

At seventeen, Lily survives by believing the cosmos turns pain into purpose. But when her best friend Marianna overdoses, no greater good can justify the loss. Lily must confront her need to create meaning in pain or be destroyed by a grief she can’t outrun.

Horror Vacui (lyric essay)

Silence scares me because it forces me to sit with the feeling that I’m missing something essential in myself, and I end up relying on others for meaning instead of building my own worth.

Synesthesia, Equanimity, and Bestowal (poetry suite)

Three pieces that explore conformity, equilibrium, and sacrifice, as experienced through a child conforming to a foreign reality, a patient with Bipolar Disorder seeking balance, and a father shaped by devoted self-giving to his son. I have notes from my editor and will revise and submit them for publication soon!
