A solitary, ancient standing stone positioned on a desolate Cumbrian fell at the break of dawn. The lighting is cinematic and low-angled, highlighting the rough, weathered textures of lichen and deep-fissured rock. In the background, rolling misty valleys are bathed in soft indigo and gold, rendered in a sharp, hyper-realistic style that emphasizes the permanence of the stone against the fleeting morning mist.

"We trust in gods, in coin, in fleeting luck,
But they trust only in the standing stone.’*
We explore the textures of the land in *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry*. Coming soon to a bookshelf near you.

Sometimes healing begins in silence—
in the spaces where grief and grace live side by side.
Sacred from the Shattered releases May 1.
This is a glimpse of what lives in its pages.

A picture of a small seedling with quite: You knew seedlings don’t snap under boots. Their newness renders them pliable and silent.

Lines from one of my poems about my childhood abuse.

An old abandoned barns with a stack of gravestones in the foreground.

Skeleton weathered barns, we are.
Breath rushes through us -
encapsulating our lost voices
in quarks of Time.

Our lives erased.
But our exhale?
Our exhale fills the lungs
of those who never knew
our names.
