Absent People, Absent Places

Absent People, Absent Places is a collection of poems that observes the trajectory of chronic depression in its colourful, varied, multiplicitous forms. The speaker of these poems moves from fighting absence to finding and inhabiting presence. Through the non-linear, looping journey away from depression, the speaker asserts herself: this is who I am; this is where we are; this is who we’ve become.

Available on Amazon & all major bookstores.
