COMING SOON

Originally conceived as a series of loosely connected short stories, terminus is a novella centred around a group of people who get stuck in a subway train that keeps moving—speeding past each designated stop.  The bulk of terminus’s subject matter was inspired by the myriad of emotions the subway elicits—how it has the frightening ability to remind us of our aloneness even in an experience that is so often shared. In many ways, the subway is less of a vehicle than it is a waiting room. Terminus is an examination of that idea.

Petal Projections is a community-driven magazine dedicated to showcasing all things feminine literature and artistry. Centred around the themes of community, self-love/care, & environmental care, the magazine produces quarterly issues.

“Two Pretty Gurls Cross Paths By the Pond'' is a prose-poem in which a confident, self-assured speaker encounters someone who is the complete opposite. This piece explores self-concepts at both ends of the spectrum, and how they respond to each other.

“Bound” is a calligram with a speaker full of wonder. The piece works to encapsulate theparadox of joy and hopelessness.
