I’m one of those people who found writing easier than talking. A stammer in childhood made the page feel like the one place where thoughts could land without interruption. That habit stayed with me.

My poems come from everyday life—what I notice, what I’m trying to understand, what I can’t quite shake. They’re not meant to impress so much as to connect. If something here speaks to you, then the poem has done its job.

Thanks for reading, and for meeting the work on its own terms.
