Grateful & Hateful in Bloomington, MN

This collection of poetry was written without the intention of ever being shared. Over the years, I've heard them repeating through my days, searching for someone to listen. Throughout the chaotic pandemic, dramatic nights, loss, grief, and love, I've written poetry to keep myself sane. I find poetry in everything I pay attention to, down to which quarters I choose for laundry day. This collection is meant to spark joy, companionship, compassion, and empathy. A vulnerable look into what I notice.
