  1. 1. Selected Poems

    A compact, fiercely personal collection of confessional poems that confronts identity, mental anguish, love and loss with brutal candor and vivid imagery. Stark metaphors and intense, often jagged rhythms transform domestic scenes and private trauma into mythic tableaux—revolving around themes of death and rebirth, fraught family relationships, sexuality, and the pressures of motherhood—blending lyrical control with raw emotional ferocity to create work that is both intimate and haunting.
