Request ARC accessThe Fragments of Shadow & Sound: Prose and Poems is my debut poetry collection—a deeply personal blend of lyricism, vulnerability, and reflection. Across five thematic sections—Faultlines, Reflections, Longings, Thresholds, and Ascents—the book explores love, mental health, disability, grief, and growth.
Written by someone who is legally blind, hard of hearing, and neurodivergent, this collection leans into imperfection and the quiet strength found in mending what’s broken. Through prose poems, haiku, formal verse, and confessional pieces, I try to offer an honest look into moments that often go unspoken.
It’s a book for readers who feel deeply, overthink quietly, and carry both shadows and music in their hearts.
