twentysomething: a coming-of-age poetry collection modernizes Socrates’ ancient wisdom—”Know thyself”—and traces the journey toward self-discovery amid the beauty and chaos of early adulthood.
With both heart and humor, the book celebrates an era of being single defined by newfound confidence—shaped by the lessons born from all-consuming love and eye-opening heartbreak. It also captures the often comedic (think: dating disasters) and always fun-loving (cue: city nights with friends) realities of life in your twenties.
This inspiring collection invites you to reflect on these transformative years of your own life and the unexpected wisdom, wild joy, and deep longing that come with them.

Moonstruck: Told by the Seasons is a poetry collection recounting a fairy tale-like first love that had warped into something nightmarish and wrong. Told through the lens of a starry-eyed teenager, she magnifies every feeling and glorifies her experiences as she valiantly endures love, hurt, heartbreak, and healing—each symbolized by nature’s seasons. She must embark upon this journey to reveal the true strength and self-love she holds within.
