Stitches is a debut collection of 20 poems woven together to explore stories told, retold, or only whispered. It is a visceral contemplation of seasons of life and simple moments: a soldier tracing a well-loved photograph; a father’s familiar hand skewering a slice of apple; a mother’s grief as her son spits 'her out like some bitter peel'; the final cry of a long life: 'I am done.'Sprinkled throughout the collection are love songs to the natural world-a celebration of spaces where 'tongues catch sunflakes' and fireflies explode in 'white-hot disco ball frenzy.' This is a world where readers can breathe deeply, where the 'soporific potion' of the mountains eases tired souls. We are all invited to 'unzip our stiff suits' and rest a while in beneath a canopy of green.With evocative but accessible language and vivid imagery, the poet invites the reader to pause, find a comfortable spot to curl up, and step into a world that will feel a little like coming home. Each poem by itself is a slice of life-a snapshot capturing a single moment. Together, these poems create a 'slipshod collage' of intimate but familiar moments stitched together to reveal the expanse of possibility: of lives well lived, of yearning, heartbreak, beauty, and legacy.
