Featured Poem

This rotating feature highlights a poem—either one of my own works or a poem that has shaped or inspired my writing. Each selection reflects themes central to my creative identity: memory, spirituality, inner transformation, and the relationship between darkness and illumination. The featured poem changes regularly to encourage return visits and fresh engagement. My first featured poem is Sylvia Plath’s “Daddy,” chosen for its emotional intensity and its resonance with some of the thematic threads in my fiction and poetry.
