Gray Pirouettes

Gray Pirouettes is an intimate collection of poetry that explores themes of depression, pressures of modern the world, and our relationship with time following the pandemic. Deeply personal in tone, each poem immerses the reader into the consciousness of the narrator's slow dance through healing. Often whimsical in nature, Gray Pirouettes invites the reader to consider the inner lives of celestial beings such as "Does the Earth ever think to reverse her rotational direction, just to see if the sun would notice her pirouettes?". The narrator's struggle with breath serves as a visceral through line: moving through each poem feels like a deep inhale and slow exhale.
