SAINT OF is a gilded exploration of hunger—the hunger for the erotic, the ancestral, the forbidden, divinity, and hope. With themes of grief, illness, and generational trauma woven alongside sensuality and beauty, this collection is both sacrament and defiance. It traces the contours of longing, ruin, and transformation, blurring the boundaries between the carnal and the celestial. These poems are not only an invocation of saints—they are a declaration of self.

Feels for SAINT OF

“The poems in SAINT OF are like whispers carried on the zephyr, each one a delicate exploration of the human condition, vulnerability, and the search for meaning in a world that often feels both enchanting and heartbreaking. From the whispers of orphaned girls to the confessions of burdened lovers, the poems weave a rich tapestry of human connection and longing. This book reminds us that even in the depths of despair, there is beauty to be found, and that the human spirit is capable of enduring even the most profound sorrows.” — Trista Edwards, author of Spectral Evidence
