Thank you for trusting me with your secrets
I will do what it takes to make sure they’re kept safe
Thank you for listening to my stories
And for knowing which ones were for you alone
Thank you for helping me guide my strength
And overcome my weakness
Thank you for letting me into those spaces
You built as a delicate child
And thank you for entering those spaces of mine
And exploring them with sympathy

Named one of New York's Best Emerging Poets 2019, my poetry chapbook The New Normal was published by Analog Submission Press. My novel The Zoo was published by Cacoethes Publishing House. Other poems and short stories have appeared in Subterranean Blue Poetry, The Journal of Microfiction, and Sick Lit Magazine, among others. Other works include a staged reading of my play Digging Up John Barrymore, performed by Dreamcatcher Entertainment, and five albums of original music recorded with my band Late Model Humans.
