Author Description

flightless birds, sinking ships is a poetry collection about endurance without rescue - about what happens when effort does not lead to escape and loyalty does not guarantee safety. These poems move through grief, faith, love, and loss, tracing the space between what we give and what can be carried. They name the quiet cost of trying to make the broken float, of staying longer than we should have, and of learning that survival is not the same as being saved. This book is for those who tried to rise under weight and discovered that sometimes survival is the only honest victory.
