I'm thrilled to announce that my second poetry collection has been accepted for publication by the incredible team at Nymeria Publishing! Prepare for a science fiction adventure told through poetry that's definitely like nothing you've read before.

Darling, you’re a bullet and you’re a gun:

so go collect all the broken pieces

of your tattered skin and bones.

I’ll hold them together 

as you spit the blood from your mouth

and stagger to your feet again.

 

It is time for you to run.

“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

ABOUT MAIA

Image of a slice of a pomegranate

aia is a symphony of papercuts, banged-up knees, and stubborn determination. She believes in the altruism of strangers, the power of direct action, and the use of the Oxford comma. She strives to offer what she can; here, that offering is her words.

​

One of the organizations closest to Maia’s heart is the Yuva Organization for Children's Rights. The initial spark of this organization was born the day after the Islamic State first attacked Duhola Village in their ruthless massacre in Sinjar in August 2014. One brave man, who she is honored to call a dear friend, found a way to take action despite the hopelessness of the moment. He took it upon himself to distract the children of Duhola from the violence and fear through education. Ten years later, his efforts have graduated from huddling on mountainsides hoping for rescue to building entire schools in areas previously devastated by the Islamic State. If you want to learn more or donate to help their cause, you can go here.
