The Butterfly Bruises is a collection of thought-provoking poetry on nature, technology, culture and childhood. What was the inspiration for the ideas behind the poem in this book?
I wrote this book because I felt the need to tell these stories. The inspiration behind the ideas really comes from memory and imagination and the intertwining of these two facets of the mind. I wanted to write poems that readers could relate to that would also make them ask questions about their own lives.
My favorite poem from the collection is ‘Can Time Ever Fall?. Do you have a favorite poem from this book?
My favorite poem is definitely “The Dollhouse on Fifth Avenue.” I think it encapsulates the absurdities of apartment living and city living.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
The main themes that were important to explore were: love, communication, nature, and technology.
What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?
I am working on a fiction novel about a character who sleepwalks and a complicated family. The book is set in NYC/the south.
