Hi everyone! I’m excited to share my self-published, published September 20, 2024. My poetry collection, Pocketful of Poetry, a compact yet deeply personal anthology that explores the layered, tender, and sometimes contradictory nature of the human experience.
The book is divided into five themed
chapters—Love Poems, Self-Reflection, Odes, Struggle
& Activism, and an Epilogue. These pieces were born from quiet
reflection, joyful moments, heartbreak, social awareness, and the desire to
transform lived experience into art. The collection honors traditional poetic
form while embracing creative freedom when the message demands it.
🏆 A proud moment:
My poem “The Sun Does Shine in
the Ghetto” earned Honorable Mention in the Non-Rhyming Poetry
category of the 94th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition, chosen
from nearly 3,800 entries submitted from 45 countries. This recognition means a
lot to me and reflects the emotional depth I aim to bring to all my writing.
If you enjoy poetry that is heartfelt,
socially conscious, and easy to revisit again and again, I’d be honored if you
checked it out.
