Words in the world

On the page.
In the room.
Fully present.

Spoken-word performance, creative writing workshops and published arts reviews. Here’s a little of my work, in its different forms.

Hear the voice behind the words

A page is
only the beginning.

Spoken word lives in the room. Watch a moment of my performance at FloVortex, shared by the event’s own account.

In community / Oh Shala Festival

A tent. A page.
A shared pause.

Creative writing at Oh Shala brought breathing and written reflection into a festival setting. These are moments I shared from the workshop.

A moment for your words

Start where
you are.

Choose a prompt. Write a few lines. They don’t have to be beautiful. They just have to be yours.

Your words stay on this page. Closing this moment clears them.
