I write from noticing.
From moments before experience organises itself into meaning.
From the place where something is felt
before it is named.
My work is not about telling people what is true.
It begins when something already known
is recognised in language
that stays close to lived experience.
I am interested in how meaning forms —
how breath, sensation, and attention
become language
only after they have already happened.
Much of what I write comes from staying
with what is usually passed over:
the pause before speech,
the ache without story,
the moment something shifts internally
before the mind explains it.
I write to name what many people already carry
but have never seen reflected back to them.
My work moves between poetry and prose,
not as a stylistic choice,
but because experience itself
does not arrive in categories.
Some pieces appear as fragments.
Others belong to a larger body of work.
All of them come from the same place —
attention, presence,
and the willingness to remain with feeling
long enough for it to take shape.
I am not interested in conclusions.
I am interested in recognition.
