Welcome to my blog!
In preparation of my debut poetry book, I will be sharing bits of the book through this blog.
The Weight of Knowing uses poetry to explore the topics young adults grapple with as they set the stage for the rest of their lives. The poems are inspired by my life and contain universal young adult themes including hometown aches, exploring identity, finding lifelong companionship, understanding family trauma, building community, and sustaining oneself financially. My goal for the piece is to relate to young adults while they reflect on their lives in hopes of finding the answers to guide the rest of it. The book is made up of 200 poems divided into five sections: home, family, work, love, and self.
