As a writer, I weave poetry with images and actions, re-imagining linguistic possibility with passion and curiosity. As an artist, I incorporate color, ritual, and symbol into my life and everything I create.
Head over to my essays if you are interested in philosophical narrative non-fiction. If you are interested in spiritual topics, watch my interview with the wonderful Suma Gowda here, covering (among other things) the highly misunderstood nature of religious stories and why we can't talk about the "existence" of God.
A few years ago, I lived in the woods outside Catalonia, Spain and wrote a book called The Sea Once Swallowed Me: A Memoir of Love, Solitude, and the Limits of Language. In poetic prose, I grapple with freedom, identity, narrative, God, love, death (basically all those entangled ideas that haunt our spacetime-tethered lives). If you'd like to take a peek inside, I've made a free pdf excerpt for you here. Buy it on Amazon, Bookshop, and Indie Bound.
