Welcome to The New Now. I publish manifestos, essays, prose poems, novel chapters, short stories, noir prose poems, and flash fiction. I also touch on living through these historical times, quotes on life, writing, books, and freedom of thought.

A place for the outlaws of poetry and the written word.

I’m a storyteller weaving bits and pieces of words and images to touch the heart of the world with kindness, courage, and wholeness.

Exploring what it means to travel through time in a human body, at every phase of life.
