Children & Taboos
My first collection of poetry explores the deep wounds facing U.S. residents today, and the political, religious, class, race, and mental illness issues that cannot be ignored. I recount stories from my life, others’ lives, and my dreams in order to rise against those who want me, and those like me, silenced or ignored. I invite readers to explore the line between good and evil, right and wrong, and face the brilliant and horrible truths that lie within us all.
The Beginning of the End
A Grocery Store Horror Story
Meet Katy Garza, your typical post-highschool Latinx teenager. A grocery store bagger trying to save for college, her troubles worsen when the Voices in her head become too much to handle. Join Katy as she discovers what it means to be alive (while trying to avoid kicking the bucket), learns to let go of the past, and how the only place to go when you hit rock bottom is up.
