Creaks from My Rails is a collection of interconnected poetic trilogies that reimagines classic literature, myths, historical figures, and cultural stories through a contemporary, reflective voice.
Exploring themes of obsession, endurance, love, responsibility, memory, and legacy, the poems offer fresh perspectives on familiar stories while uncovering the universal experiences that connect us all.
Unified by the recurring image of a rocking chair, the collection reflects on aging, continuity, and the stories passed from one generation to another. Through restrained language, vivid imagery, and thoughtful reflection, it moves beyond storytelling to explore what we pursue, what we leave behind, and what remains.
Ultimately, Creaks from My Rails is a meditation on life, meaning, and the enduring power of stories to connect generations.
