272 poems woven into one continuous story of mental health, addiction, love, loss, bad decisions, lonely streets, and survival. Raw, unfiltered, and deeply human, read... explores the strange roads we travel and what it takes to keep going.

read... is not a collection of poems. It is a nervous system.
Told through hundreds of interconnected pieces woven together by lyrical prose and braided transitions, the book follows a single consciousness as it moves through identity, trauma, addiction, mental health, grief, love, art, and the search for meaning.
From alleyways and bus stops to heartbreaks, friendships, and forgotten corners of the street, the work blurs the line between poetry, memoir, and documentary observation. Faces become landscapes. Cities become mirrors. Survival becomes a language of its own.
