The idea for this website has been a glimmer in my imagination for some time. It has transformed into an amalgam of the timeless, rich, and beautiful found in literature, music, art, and even food. I encourage you to explore!

On the Blog page, you will find my personal writing and poetry, as well as what I’ve written for other publications and sites. The Read page will feature literature and poetry that are too wonderful to be lost to time or that might sound intimidating, but are in fact wonderfully accessible. C.S. Lewis speaks of this idea in his essay “On the Reading of Old Books.” Most people, when they consider a book by Plato, would “rather read some dreary modern book ten times as long, all about ‘isms’ and influences and only once in twelve pages telling him what Plato actually said…But if he only knew the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator.” This section encourages everyone to read the classics and as Lewis tells us to “keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.” To that end, I will recommend books — classic and new — that would be worthy editions to your shelves. The Miscellany page is a wonderful mix of different creators’ writings, photography, and art that captures truth and beauty. (Keep an eye out for the occasional recipe here as well!) The Contact page provides different options to contact me, links to the journals and magazines I write for, a link to my CV, and a place to share your email for updates.

Thank you for visiting my site! I hope that through these words and images you will find inspiration and a road to wonder and joy.
