The Avis Archive
For the past year, since avis' release. I have been working on a new collection. A deeper dive into the journey of avis, and a sort of extra internal healing.
avis was a challenge, overseen and published by BookLeaf Publishing, and I was limited on the size of the book.
Though avis will always have a special place in my heart, the limitation has never sat well with me. Seven years of my life, smushed into twenty-one poems left me feeling flat; not understood. Thus, my embark on self-publication.
The Avis Archive, is a compilation of my journey through domestic violence, addiction, grief, acceptance, and healing. All the nitty gritty, sloppy, whiny, rage-filled details. With poetry and artwork by my dear friend, Kira Jones, to accompany each piece.
I have never been prouder of a piece of work, and I cannot wait to share it with the world.
Available in paperback only on Amazon.com

Considering thinking about style through everyday choices, I would want to understand a few concrete details before deciding what matters most. A useful outfit needs to work with the day someone is actually planning. I would connect Bournston with personal style ideas through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. How would you balance comfort, personal taste and the occasion when choosing what to wear?
I find choosing a comfortable place for a short stay easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. The rhythm of a stay depends on practical details as well as the view. I would connect Boathousestonehaven with short break accommodation through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What would you want to know before choosing an unfamiliar place to stay?
There is something appealing about discovering cultural connections through everyday stories, especially when the focus stays on the details people might otherwise overlook. An ordinary tradition can show how people remember and share a sense of place. I would connect Asianrichlist with cultural storytelling ideas through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. How would you invite different people to describe what the same tradition means to them?
A discussion of connecting food with farming and local production seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. The work behind a familiar ingredient can be easy to overlook once it reaches a shop. For Ashclystfarmdairy, I would use local food production as a starting point for a closer discussion of the subject. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. What part of the journey from producer to kitchen would you most like to understand?
I like thinking about exploring the details that shape a screen story through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. The order of two scenes can change what a viewer notices about a character. That thought gives me a starting point for exploring film storytelling ideas in connection with Aserbianfilm. It leaves me curious about the steps between understanding an idea and putting it into practice. Which small details make you want to revisit a scene after the story ends?
