ABOUT

i write things down so i don't have to keep carrying them around in my head.

I write poetry, take too many photographs, read fiction, drink unreasonable amounts of coffee, and occasionally make things with my hands.

things i cannot touch is my first poetry collection. I hope these words find you wherever you are.

thank you for
being here.
