Made from Scratches: Resurfaced and Re-purposed for Endurance

"Bounce back." "Toughen up." "Move on." Coming from a tried and emboldened young author, this poetry compilation approaches experiences of loss, love, disappointment and anger with no holds barred. Documenting experiences from ages twelve through twenty-one, this frank, purposeful, and often callously amusing work brings meaning to misery and solace to suffering with inspiring fortitude. It is a newly earned muscle in poetry, made from scratches.
