Summary

In episode 21 I’m taking you inside Blood in My Mouth, my latest book, and walking you through the journey it unfolds without giving too much away. This book isn’t just poetry. It’s a transformation. A reckoning. A blueprint for breaking silence, speaking truth, and reclaiming power. Alongside it, I’m introducing Bricks for Sale, a sculptural art collection that visually manifests the themes of the book. These pieces hold weight literally and figuratively. They capture what it means to suppress, to shatter, to bleed, and to finally stand in the fullness of your voice. I’ll only be reading the opening poem because the rest is for you to interpret in your own voice, your own cadence, your own truth. If you’ve ever held something in for too long, if you know what it means to wrestle with silence, if you’re ready to confront what’s been buried this episode is for you.
