Editor’s note: I get the fact that the iPad screen was too bright to see, and I was moving too fast to check… you’ll be fine. 😂 That wasn’t the point anyway.
Today is the day.
Pen, Paper, and Heart Vol. 00: Life-Preservers is officially out in the world.
This collection isn’t just a book of poetry—it’s a reflection of survival, resilience, and rediscovery. It’s about finding meaning in the unexpected, about piecing together something beautiful from what’s already there.
If you’ve been following along, you know that these poems weren’t written in the traditional sense—they were found. Pulled from existing texts, rearranged into something new, and, in the process, became my own life preservers during a time of uncertainty.
And now, they’re yours.
