Welcome to Ordinary Life: In Three Acts

This book gathers moments from years spent roaming across continents, listening, observing, and celebrating people in their truest form. These poems grew out of nights in juke joints, long afternoons in far-flung villages, barefoot steps on desert sand, and conversations with unforgettable characters met along the way. Each piece follows the thread of what feels real and unpolished in the world—joy, longing, desire, wonder—and distills it into something direct and honest.

If you’re drawn to writing that clears away excess and leaves only what feels essential, this collection will meet you there. I invite you to step into these travels, these loves, and these lived moments with me.
