Juniper
My debut poetry collection Juniper is available to purchase!
Description: Juniper is an exploration of the ups and downs of youth. It showcases the human need for connection: with others, with the world, and with oneself. This collection is littered with moments of healing and appreciation amidst the pain. It refuses to back down or pretend to be anything other than what it is.
Content Warning: Some topics that are explored in this collection might be upsetting to some readers.
