I often write about how presence can captivate, shift emotional landscapes, and quietly transform.
I tend to write in a lyrical, prose-poetic style that favours mood over structure, feeling over form. Recurring themes—desire as devotion, surrender, reverence, emotional transformation, and grace—echo through my work like emotional refrains. My influences come from everywhere: music, memory, literature, cinema, theory, late-night thoughts, and the kinds of conversations you can’t forget. I’m especially interested in how popular culture and media shape our emotional vocabularies—how they give language to what we feel.
Poetry, for me, is a way of holding what resists explanation. It’s about feeling profoundly alive—and sometimes undone—in the presence of another.
