FORTHCOMING
The Weight of Oak and Iron
Poems of Honor, Lineage, and Truth
Oak is rootedness: land, hearth, ancestry, memory, and the continuity of generations before and after us. Iron is what we do with that inheritance—the obligation to act, endure, struggle, build, defend, and carry forward what was placed in our hands. Together, oak and iron become a meditation on belonging and responsibility: on where we come from, what we owe, and what we leave behind.Coming Spring 2027
