Harlem ghosts.
Gin-sour love songs.

Books
Symphony of Home
Poetry collection — forthcoming
"A collection tuned like a late-night radio: home as the song you can't stop humming, even when it hurts."
How I Met Leann
Debut novel — forthcoming
"A Harlem love story told in smoke and sirens. The girl, the bar, the long way home."
Love & Murder
Full-length collection, 2025
"These are 3 a.m. poems: scrapped from napkins, carried up the 6 train, washed in vermouth and headache light. No clean arcs. No moral victory. Just the truth I could stand to say out loud—and the parts I couldn't, yet."
