Between Violence & Valor

Between Violence & Valor is a poetry collection born in the tension. You know, the space where pain meets perseverance, where silence breaks teeth, and where love sometimes looks like war. This is not a quiet book. It does not ask for forgiveness or permission. It is an exploration of what it means to be powerful, to be loved fiercely, and to survive things that tried to destroy you. These poems were written in blood and backbone. They speak of armor, of fury, of the soft underbelly hidden beneath the blade. This is not about the healing, it's holding the wound and still choosing to walk forward.
