thoughts i left in bed is a contemporary free verse poetry collection inviting longing, guilt, fear, masculinity, change, and vulnerability to coexist in their full complexity. Pulling from vivid memories, meaningful objects, and quiet Midwestern imagery, the collection captures emotions too large or complicated to clearly explain. Rooted in late-night introspection and changing relationships, these poems invite readers to sit with difficult feelings without needing to make them smaller or solvable.
