Eclipse (Poetry) set for publication in October 2027 by JackLeg Press
Eclipse examines our relationship to that to which we can never return and, ultimately, embraces transformation in the wake of devastation.
“I hope these poems help others understand that illness, loss, and grief are ever-changing conditions, and while we hold them in our bodies, we also change and evolve.”
