Artist Statement

"I’m a poet drawn to familial narratives and how they ripple into a broader, more communal experience. The natural world acts as the lead catalyst and mirror confronting my speakers fears around fatherhood and humanhood. Hope persists despite pain and the lyric sings my speakers forward turn after turn after turn."
