Chapbook of poems
CONSUMPTION feels like a haunted house. It explores grief and family addiction in all of its facets: the longing for normalcy, translations of what was and what will be, with a Greek chorus as a guide. It operates like a memory reel, inviting the reader to look closely at what it is to be truly consumed while offering a way out.

My mother’s mother
makes her appearances
in my dreams.
We only come together
in moving vehicles:
A speeding car,
a white 1970’s pick-up truck,
a wobbly ambulance—
Always with a flurry
of violence around us.
She even peels on a smile
in the middle of it all.
