we will find the space to breathe

when i was thirteen, my mom saw me struggling. she handed me a pen and encouraged me to write. ever since, i’ve been writing words for myself to live by. now, i’m giving you the writing that has saved my life with the hope that you find space to breathe.

kind words from my friends

  • Levi the Poet

    “It is not clear to me that I will ever excavate its everything, but that’s always been my favorite kind of art: the kind which lends itself to exploration. The Rocketman’s experience, printed like space matter floating in all the negative white on these pages, is something like an invitation, and I was pleasantly surprised - on many an occasion - to find myself inside his suit.”

  • Celia Wiseman

    “shift is equal parts emotional journey and visual experience. contemplative and observant, this collection of poems documents a series of transitions - from earth to space, from loneliness to togetherness, from faith to faithless…and back to faith again.

    The shifts that occur in shift are dark in some moments, and full of light in others, creating an ode to the balance and imbalance of life.”

  • my mom

    “otherpoet opens up in this honest, often heart-wrenching collection of poetry, painting a vivid tapestry of a journey through time and space. his unconventional use of the page tells its own story, as we float along, getting lost in his story. I find myself rereading favorite pages, it’s not hard to imagine what he was feeling while he penned each word. Tears come easily, as does the laughter. otherpoet is the next generation poet and storyteller.”
