Weird Brain. 
Big Heart.

A Collection of Poems

From deep poems about love, hope, sadness, and joy, to comical interpretations of everyday life and romanticization of observations in Chicago, my poetry covers a wide range of themes. I mostly write free verse and I started what I call "grocery store poems" which are poems scribbled on the back of receipt paper. My poem "Alone in a Crowded Space" was published in the Warped Nostalgia Edition of The Wright Side, the literary arts magazine at Wilbur Wright College. A few of my poems were also published in Strongly Lettered Words, the inaugural zine of the young adult writers group of Eisenhower Library.

Are you ready to enter the world of my weird brain and sensitive heart through my poetry?
