Poetry is more medicine than it is art.

In 2021, I sat in complete darkness for 3 days and emerged realizing I was a poet. What followed was a complete dismantling of the life I thought I wanted—trading my six figure sales job for poetry and death work.MILKWEED is the story of that transformation, told through the lens of a Monarch Butterfly's migration. It's about consuming just enough poison to transcend self-abandonment and fuel the journey home to yourself.Digital copy available now. Physical book coming soon.

This book is for you if:

-You're stuck in shame for any addictions or self-sabotaging vices.
-You feel the pull toward a life of deeper meaning but overwhelmed by where to start.
-You're trapped in a cycle of intellectualizing your patterns without being able to change them.
-You believe that your pain can hold wisdom more than wounds.
-You're ready to stop seeking external validation and start trusting what you already know.
-You crave a deeper sense of spirituality.This isn't flowery language or complex metaphors. You won't need a dictionary, but you will feel your heart.
These are raw, grounded poems that held up a mirror to my own humanity—the ones that interrupted self-sabotage long enough for me to remember who I was beneath the numbness and addiction.

From the author who:

-Teaches poetry as medicine to men in maximum-security prisons
-Guides others through death and difficult life transitions as a death doula
-Leads "A Year to Live" groups, helping people live as if they have one year left
-Found his voice in the darkness and uses it to help others find theirs
