Poems and loosely structured essays on the world of the body, mind and soul and the chaotic entanglement of this holy trinity.

I have compiled poems from 1998 to 2008. The subject matter varies depending on the events and perspective of my life. The style of many of my early poems was inspired by the language and style of the short novel, Wide Sargasso Sea. Originally, they were each hand written to match the tone of the poem, and depict an image central to the theme of the verse.

Later poems are a result of more structured thinking and writing. The subject matter switches from working through of childhood trauma to the events related to adulthood and growing into a woman. I often deal with transformative events, moving from grand themes to intimate details.

I hope that there are people out there who will appreciate my style and content. If you take anything positive away from these poems, I will be ever so glad.

An arborist (or tree surgeon) is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, the management and maintenance of trees. Work may also include care of shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. An arborist is distinct from a forester, or from a logger. Those professions may have much in common, but the scope of work is different. Arborists frequently focus on health and safety of individual trees, or wooded landscapes, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood.
