TowardsWhat Hurt
Coming September 2026From the invocation
I'm glad you made it here.
I'm so grateful you arrived safe.
I don't know what you encountered on your way,
but I see some bumps and bruises.
I see the scratches.
I have salve in my cabinets.
I know how to dress wounds.
Just before you enter —
take off your shoes.
Wash your hands.
Meet me in the kitchen.
This is not a gentle read about healing.
It is a ceremony.

About the book
Towards
What Hurt
This is not wellness. It is a ceremony.
Poems that do not flinch. That witness. That burn. That restore. Written from inside the wound, the scar, the survival — and from the other side of it. Towards What Hurt moves through preparation, wildfire, and return. It refuses the demand that healing be soft or worthiness be earned.
For the hurt and the healed. For survivors and seekers. For anyone who has chosen to stay awake in a world that rewards numbness.

It wasn't until I went
towards what hurt
that I found
the means to heal.

The ceremony
I
The Portal Opens
Where we begin. Before the fire, before the return — the arrival. Who you are when you come in.
II
The Wildfire
The wound, the scar, the body that kept score. Illness. Loss. The cost of surviving in a world that would prefer your harm.
III
The Return
Coming home. Not back to who you were — forward to who you are becoming. Love. Softness. Belonging to yourself.
