Atmospheric Rivers is my first poetry book, and as such it is incredibly close to my heart. The poems I have included are poems of healing, of learning to let go and be myself, of queerness, of mental illness, of the trauma inherent in being alive in our current society; but more than anything, this is a dedication of love, for you, for me, for our planet, and hope for our future. There is always beauty to be found if you are looking, and I hope this helps you to see it.
