Ungodly description:

A book for the least of these, Ungodly shines a light on the experiences of life as a survivor, being LGBTQ+, being disabled, and many other identities that are viewed as “ungodly.” This book shows that even good people make mistakes; even good people hurt other good people. And sometimes bad people hurt good people. This collection of poetry depicts the strength it takes to have faith that, no matter who you are, you are worthy of love and forgiveness exactly as you are. Ungodly seeks to heal wounds that this world leaves in us, and seeks to reveal the glimmering spots in our humanity.

When I Bleed: Poems about Endometriosis Description:

Nearly 200 million people around the world have Endometriosis. It is as common as asthma or diabetes, but we never talk about it. Endometriosis causes full-body symptoms, and is as painful as labor or a heart attack; in fact, it is one of the top 20 most painful conditions a person can experience (NHS, 2018). 1 in 9 menstruators live with this chronic illness (Endometriosis Australia, 2020). Despite often debilitating symptoms, it takes an average of 11 years to get an Endometriosis diagnosis in America. Maggie waited 11 years to get a diagnosis despite being hospitalized for the excruciating pain as early as middle school. Words can be a life raft in the depths of destroyed health. These poems depict Endometriosis as accurately as possible. These poems explain the full-body, whole life, physical and mental toll this illness takes. These poems exemplify what Endometriosis has taken away from millions of us; it also shines a light on the amazing community of warriors who keep fighting every single day.

The Whole Story Description:

The Whole Story is an attempt to capture trauma and the changes in our thought patterns as a result. After years of complex trauma and feeling as though I was drowning in unrelenting crises I found myself in an extremely abusive relationship. Eventually, I pulled myself out of that space – through lots of therapy – and began writing again. I began reading and falling in love. I was finding happiness. Even so, the intrusion of trauma was still interrupting my life. To gain control of this story, my life, and my past, I poured my soul into these words. Now, I am letting go of these words with the goal of exemplifying just how tumultuous trauma and healing can be. Most of all, I want to show you how worthy you are, and that you deserve to care for and love yourself. We all do.
