Poetry

I have been reading and writing poetry for years. Poetry, like art, can convey imagery, a story, a feeling. It is an outlet for me, and I strive to share more of my poems. I have had a few poems published and in my down time I illustrate imagery for poems as well. Mostly, I hope you enjoy this work.

Feels Zine is an amazing Canadian zine that showcases art and words by talented people. Each issue with a focus on different “Feels”.

Mini poetry book.

Poems on loss, poems on longing, on closeness and the distance - Fever is a collection of 10 of my favourite poems I have written. With each poem I have included one of my sketchbook drawings.

Fever was printed by Vide Press - a Toronto printing house that specializes in risograph printing.

Fever is a small book and a small collection, but is packed with so many feelings.
