Field Notes

This collection is a gentle reckoning with becoming. Through poems and brief meditations, it follows the quiet, uneven work of growing up. It reflects on family––the bonds that shape us, the fractures we inherit, and the love that remains even when it changes form. At its core, this book is an offering to the dreamers. Writing becomes both refuge and compass, a way of listening closely to the world and answering back. With tenderness and wonder, these poems remind us to choose a life shaped by curiosity and that creativity is not something we find—but something that finds us, again and again.
