Maybe You Are Gone...

“There was a life I endured—from crawling into walking, from startled beginnings into something worn and strained.” A poetic meditation on mourning, gradual absence, and learning how to look upon an empty room without looking away.

Maybe You Are Gone Cover
From the Writer's Desk
“A writer is both a healer and a poisoner.
To soothe — and to unsettle.
To reveal what comfort hides.”

Welcome to my working journal. Currently drafting my next poetry sequence and an essay examining youth disillusionment in South Asia. Every piece published on this site is drafted with patience, re-worked in quietude, and offered without compromise. If you value deliberate thought, I welcome you to join my Sunday correspondence below.
