'still river' 2025 poetry publication:

i want one!

“Still River is that, but also more. The river is tumultuous, then calm, then roaring with laughter and pride and a new sense of self. This book is indicative of change and what we endure to make it through pain, wound-healing, & more. We come out "twink[ling] like soda pop" after the steady illumination that "perhaps [we] must carry [ourselves] home gently." This book is for anyone who has healed, anyone who needs healing. This book is for you.”

-Ash Durrance, dear friend & poet

This is a wonderful read. Like breathing fresh air.
-Bird, self-defense teacher
Such a wildly beautiful and deeply insightful book, not just of poetry but of a glimpse into the very soul of the author.
I had the great pleasure of meeting them in person and of not just hearing but feeling the passion that they put into their work.

Thank you for being you River!
-oldsoullikemine, poet
Still River surrounds you like a pleasant body of water, suspending you atop the surface while you float from powerful imagery and symbolism to poetic musings and intriguing prose.
Consistently authentic while varied in style, these pages house a little something for everyone. Check it out!
