“Love Child”
Poems and People
In 2020 I began writing poetry as a way to heal and understand the world around me. In 2022 I decided to take my writing and put it somewhere other than my journal. I spent countless hours on zoom calls with editors, and searching YouTube trying to figure out how to use Adobe illustrator. But in the end it was all worth it. I created “Love Child” a book of 41 original poems and tons of film pictures - all from my personal archive. Made from scratch by yours truly - everything from the written word to the internal page layout. This was an OVERLY intimate passion project, but a significant part of my writing journey.
I worked with a close friend Ester Heath, to art direct a photoshoot for the book on digital camera [pictured below, along with some inside pages].
