Things I Wrote When You Weren’t Paying Attention is a collection of poetry I began writing in 2016, often while in the company of men who liked my presence more than my depth. The words in these poems weave flits of fantasy, fragments of attention, moments of longing, and the quiet reckonings of a woman refusing to be unseen. They live in the spaces between conversation and observation, desire and reflection, capturing what I noticed, what I felt, and what I held when no one else was watching.

and no sooner than i leaned in
and nestled my heart against yours 

did all of
our 
private universes 
unfold
 
all that lay before us
all that lay after us
simply collapsed
into sweet knowingness
