Early work
My early poems are marked by themes which run through all my works: collaboration with artists across disciplines, dreams, animals, personal mythologies, and the symbolic realm.
I’m drawn to incorporating poetry into other mediums—not only because the audience for strictly poetry is quite niche, but more so because I enjoy working with other people and blending different art forms. It’s always interesting to see how someone else experiences your creation. It becomes a relational way of understanding oneself through others, which is much of human existence, really.
My poetry generally tends toward taut, succinct musical compositions, dense with image and layers of meaning - like it a meme. I often aim for the most complexity in the simplest expression, or as Terrence McKenna described it, “the smallest unit of an idea.”
