Thank you so much Ale, for giving your talents to this project. I am forever grateful.

Would you like to pre-order the first book I’ve ever released?

My spring poems from 2026 will be in magical, real live, book form, and available to ship on, or before, July 7th, 2026. Creating the cover was very moving for me, and the image is also available as an archival print in three sizes.
