What People are Saying About 
THE GARDEN: POEMS

  • Kai Dixon

    Sometimes we want to articulate feelings we have no words for, ideas we can't yet picture, desires we were taught were evil to pursue even when they are not. This book of poems unearths this in a way that is true yet manageable. So relatable in its stories and its words. It was an honor to read, and I can't wait to read more.

  • Josh Alex Baker

    Rich. Nuanced. Expansive.

    To borrow from Mother Morrison, it isn't written for the white gaze (nor the cishet gaze.) This work is an experience! It is a world without pretense or pandering. It exists, unadulterated. It is voluminous. It is honest. It is Joy. It is tragedy. It is breathing again after tragedy.

  • Barbara Johnson

    This collection of poetry is outstanding! She has put so much emotion into words that have not or could not be spoken before. She has spoken for those who are still struggling to find their voice. Bravo! Masterfully written!
