Hey Poetry Family!

I'm excited to announce the launch of my month long fundraising campaign that will help me self publish my first full length book of poetry! Please share the love and share the word (in this case sharing the video is cool). Also if you want to see my recent TEDX talk you'll have to go to the page and check it out in the gallery along with videos of things I have been up to over the last few years of this wonderful journey through poetry.

With all the love I have had the honor of holding in my heart I thank you for your support.
