Holy Trinity of Chiles
Holy Trinity of Chiles is my first published book of poetry, representing the best work of my first 15 years as a poet. I am grateful for all of my poetry teachers, especially Diane Frank, who have helped me grow so much as a writer.
My book is organized loosely around a meal with the following sections:
I. Tapas and Apéritif
Journey to the American Southwest, Spain, Japan, and France through a series of travelogue poems.
II. Picnic Under Trees
Feel the wonder and difficulties of love, both romantic and familial, in this section.
III. Cinnamon and Pepper Chai
Delve into the world of myths and mystery in this section.
IV. Bread from the Oven
Take a deeper look at the double-edged sword of spiritual grace and pain in this section.
V. Berry Lemon Trifle
Complete your poetic meal with a series of humorous and whimsical pieces.
