The Peddler and the Artist

This is where everything began for me. Over the course of just a few months, I wrote more than 1,100 poems. I wasn't trying to create a collection or chase perfection—I was simply trying to make sense of what was happening inside my own mind.

These poems were written through the highs and lows of mental illness, the uncertainty of medication, and countless sleepless nights. Writing became the one place where I could be completely honest, even when I didn't fully understand what I was feeling. Every poem captures a moment I was living through, and together they tell the story of someone searching for solid ground.

This first collection is more than the beginning of a series. It's a record of survival, of learning to live with a mind that often felt unpredictable. Some poems are hopeful, others are dark, and many exist somewhere in between. They aren't perfect, and I never wanted them to be. They're real. Looking back now, I see them as proof that even in my most difficult moments, I never stopped reaching for something better.

The Peddler and the Artist II

If the first book was about breaking open, this one goes deeper into what came after. The journey didn't end—it shifted, got harder, and pulled me further into understanding my own mind. These poems don't just revisit that struggle; they look closer at the scars and what's still there underneath.

But there are also moments of light in the cracks—small, stubborn things that kept me going. This collection holds both the hard parts and the climb back up: the real difficulty of staying afloat, and the thin thread of hope that kept me moving forward anyway. These poems aren't meant to be neat or comforting—they're honest reflections on getting through it, proof that even in hard times, there's something worth holding onto.

Chasing 200 Echoes

In just seven days, two hundred poems came out of me—unfiltered, unplanned, almost impossible to stop. They arrived like a storm, each one a raw piece of what I was going through. This collection isn't polished—it's jagged and urgent, a snapshot of me caught in the middle of it.

Every line traces the progression, the way my illness shifts and changes, pulling me deeper into chaos. These poems overlap and echo each other, insistent, refusing to let me rest. They capture the effort to make sense of myself in the middle of the storm—the pain, the cracks, and the small moments of resilience that kept me from disappearing completely. Chasing 200 Echoes is both a collapse and a pulse—proof that even when I was struggling, I still found a way to speak.
