Summary

Twenty-five is so unique, let it be the only number you ever use. 
 What is so special about twenty-five? because I chose it. 
  
And so it is in life, whatever you decide is unique will be. 
You only need to say it and agree, and watch the world join you and say yes,  
indeed, you are right, twenty-five is truly special.  
  
Always remember this: you are capable of making anything unique; you are powerful. 
  
Sole is a collection of incredible and mind-blowing poems, with life lessons for you to live to fullness and be free. 
  
It is true that a good number of people believe in greatness, but only a few understand that achieving it could depend on the extent to which you want it. 
  
You can not have greatness without first yearning for it. Greatness happens to only those who desire to live great and go on the journey to achieving it.  
Do you genuinely yearn for greatness or assume that distinction is meant for a selected few? 
  
No one is born to leave a mark of greatness; whether rich or not, it is our responsibility to make great things happen to us; and you must first understand this.

    Inspired by The Wiz, this debut, full-length poetry collection celebrates South Side Chicago and a Black woman's quest for self-discovery—one that pulls her away from the safety of home and into her power 
 
 
 
I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times takes its inspiration and concept from the cult classic film The Wiz to explore a Black woman's journey out of the South Side of Chicago and into adulthood. The narrative arc of The Wiz—a tumultuous departure from home, trials designed to reveal new things about the self, and the eventual return home—serves as a loose trajectory for this collection, pulling listeners through an abandoned barn, a Wendy's drive-thru, a Beyoncé video, Grandma's house, Sunday service, and the corner store. At every stop, the speaker is made to confront her womanhood, her sexuality, the visibility of her body, alcoholism in her family, and various ways in which narratives are imposed on her. 
 
 
 
Subverting monolithic ideas about the South Side of Chicago, and re-casting the city as a living, breathing entity, I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times spans sestinas, sonnets, free-verse, and erasures, all to reimagine the concept of home. Chicago isn't just a city, but a teacher, a lingering shadow, a way of seeing the world.

The Arctic Diaries chart generations of the characters, myths and misremembered details that make up the oral traditions of a windswept archipelago in Norway's far north. Created over a single arctic winter, using stories gathered from the last surviving fisherman of Langholmen, this collection of poems are part history, part field notes, exploring what role the outsider plays in preserving the experience of another.
