Saltwater & Stardust

Saltwater & Stardust is a collection of poems that traces the quiet turbulence of growing up—the shifting bonds, unspoken fears, and small joys that linger long after they pass. These verses explore the tender spaces between childhood and adulthood, capturing the ache of change with clarity and warmth. Rooted in simplicity yet rich in emotion, the book reflects on memory, identity, family, and the moments that define who we become. With its soft honesty and steady depth, Saltwater & Stardust invites readers to slow down, breathe, and recognize pieces of themselves in every tide, every silence, and every spark of becoming.
