The Dogs of Humanity (Fly On The Wall Press, 2019)

The collection champions the downtrodden, the bullied, the scorned, the misunderstood, while also pointing a finger to those who mistreat others. These are poems of hurt, of empathy and resilience, but most of all, of the want for a kinder world.

The poems on offer here explore questions of existence and identity, asking who we really are, and how we can possibly be.

left of soul (self published, 2010)
