Burning Words: A Poetic Memoir
A letter across time. A voice unhidden.

This is not just a collection of poems — it's a map of where I’ve been.

In Burning Words: A Poetic Memoir, I write to my daughter, hoping that through these verses, she’ll come to know me not just as a parent, but as a person. The poems trace my life’s path — from the shadows of childhood trauma to the wild intensity of adolescence, and into the hard-earned clarity of adulthood.

Each piece speaks honestly about the things we’re often taught to bury: PTSD, sex, race, parenting, survival, military life, mental health, and the weight of growing up under pressure — both seen and unseen.

This book holds what I couldn’t always say out loud.
It’s about healing, truth-telling, and the fire it takes to keep going.
It’s for my daughter — and for anyone who’s ever had to make sense of where they came from.
