My poem “Redemption Arc” was published in Collateral!

I couldn’t be more honored to have my newest literary offering “Redemption Arc” published in the latest edition of Collateral, an online literary journal run by people who are directly and indirectly impacted by violent conflict and military service.

It’s exciting to have this poem published. Part tribute to my father, part honest examination of the toxicity families allow to brew - this is one of those poems I had to write for catharsis and personal growth. I appreciated the chance to add a short statement about the creative process and context for writing the poem. Thanks to the editors at Collateral for appreciating my writing and sharing it with the world.

The whole issue is impressive and includes many poets and writers whose work I admire. Check it out if you get a chance.
