This is the only place to find my writings. I do not give anything to journals. I am creating a unique body of short, meditative essays free from academic jargon and footnotes, as well as short lyrical poems outside the conventions of the current revival of metrical poetry.

My first book, Phineiad: A Brief History of the Future, is a medium-length chivalric romance in verse dealing with anxiety and identity in a world that offers no set ideals of truth or virtue. The mixture of childish verse and fairytale humor with the sublime and allegorical places it in its own unique literary category. https://www.amazon.in/Phineiad-History-Future-L-Brooks-ebook/dp/B08947F5Z4
