75 Years: A Woman's Life in Verse

​

"75 years in the life of a woman. Beautiful. Chaotic. Always in rhythm."

​

It gives me great joy to share that my debut poetry collection, 75 Years, will be coming out in a few months with Aldrich Press. This book is a heartfelt exploration of womanhood told in chronological poetry that celebrates the unifying moments of women's lives. Friends we leave behind but still think about, first loves, and first jobs. Disappointments, loss of those we can't imagine being without, and hair turning stubbornly gray. 75 Years will resonate in ways that remind you that you are not alone in the beautiful chaos that is life. I can't wait to share this with all of you.
