I’m stoked to share that three of my poems were recently published in the September 2026 issue of Live Encounters. Big thank you to Mark Ulyseas for including my work in his venue. “Of Soft Lashings and the Burden of Baptism,” “It is Akin to a Bleeding Sieve, Let Us Be Honest,” and “Of Tattooed Angels and Alien Ascendence” can be read via the link below…

There are moments in life that serve as inflection points. I’ve reached one. No turning back.
