Writing PRACTICE

My writing cultivates a deeper compassion for the world we belong to—its visible and invisible forces, its cycles, its shared conditions. Through constellations of quotidian and symbolic imagery, my compositions draw from archetypes resonant with folktales, folksongs, and inherited storytelling forms. I understand the poet as a pilgrim, traveling a long path through changing circumstances, a disciple of devotion itself.

Attuned to the peace that arises from close observation, my work explores rites of passage embedded in the textures and repetitions of daily life. Musical syncopation, sensory detail, and shifts in cadence guide the reader through layered concepts while keeping them tethered to the position of witness. In my poems, I work with states of stabilization and destabilization—joining the reader in their interior world while also remaining a natural force outside their control. Often the volta is subtle: not a rhetorical turn but a gentle urging toward acknowledgment, assent, or a clearer sense of presence.

I am invested in cosmovision as a guiding framework—a way of understanding the interrelationships, counterbalances, and shared motion of the universe. My poems invite acceptance as a conscious, steadying attitude, and consider transcendence not as escape but as a form of clarity and wisdom. I write about the perceived individual as part of an intricate mesh of bodies, materials, and trajectories. Gravitational forces, adjacencies, and patterns of movement reveal themselves through language, offering interpretations akin to astrological observation. In my work, we spin in our own motions while moving through larger orbits, like celestial bodies turning within a shifting sky.

My writing practice is shaped by interdisciplinary visionaries such as Hilma af Klint, Remedios Varo, Patience Grey, Lee Bontecou, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, Shirin Neshat, and Hildegard of Bingen—women whose work embodies ecstatic inquiry, devotional attention, and the generative potency of darkness.
