The Blues & The Grays

My sixth poetry book, The Blues & The Grays, comes 10 years after I graduated high school from a small town. It's a prologue to my first five collections, and it gives you a peek into my teen years from fourteen to eighteen. I took my school colors and used them to illustrate the constant blue heartbreak we experience in those hallways, as well as the gray areas that tend to leave us confused and chaotic. Being in high school, for me, was full of moments that were thrilling, painful, meaningful, awful, and filled with little life lessons along the way. I remember struggling with my sexuality, which is a huge theme for this book, and I'm happy to know that other young teens might read this and know that they are not alone. This book was written for you.
