In Conversation with Myself On Living Within and Beyond the World We Inherit

What happens when the systems that once held your life steady begin to shift? In Conversation with Myself examines how power, capital, and inherited structures shape what is possible, and what must be negotiated, in the making of a life.

Written for those who experience life as an ongoing conversation between inner possibility and external conditions, this collection of poems, essays, and stories offers language, recognition, and companionship rather than prescription.

At its core, the book explores how to remain clear when circumstances are unstable. It traces the discipline of interior clarity, and how that clarity is practiced in relationship to other people, to institutions, and to the world we move through.

It asks:

What is enforced?

What is designed?

What is resisted?

What is accepted when dignity is no longer treated as a given?

From Learning to Move Again

I practice the small motions first—

opening a window, choosing tea,

the ordinary acts that prove

I am still here, still capable

of beginning.
