TO TASTE LIFE TWICE is a collection of poems and short fiction that examines reckoning with life’s unfulfillment, the black diasporic tether to religion, the rhythms of black speech, and the inescapable realities of structural inequality intertwined thematically by the historical legacy of black male and female relationships and reimagining growth. This brief collection's poems and short fiction are suffused with humor and the surrealism of the digital age.

LET’S DO BLACK PEOPLE SHIT is a collection of short fiction that explores the spectrum of the precariousness of black citizenship through intergenerational trauma, sexual identity, disability, and the limits of American assimilation. The tenderness and vulnerability of a black father and son are explored during a birthday party. A group of friends chronicle a sense of displacement and the imprecise discomfort of being the only black person in predominantly white spaces, and A child grapples with experiencing the Holy Spirit while mourning the recent loss of his mother. Magical realism, crime, romance, dystopia, and mythology all gather in the pages of this collection.
