""The most impactful forces that we can understand are felt but never seen. A Poetic Guide to the Most Powerful Forces on Earth is a poetry collection that explores the beauty and strength of invisible elements that impact and shape our existence. While some forces described can be easily identified with our other senses, there are many others that profoundly impact our lives unnoticed and [for the most part] unacknowledged. This collection does not aim to, broadly, transcend the limits of the invisible. This work contains interpretations of fictional accounts, poetic interpretations of experiences shared, and personal life experiences. This does not deny that there is a mysterious, enchanting draw to intangible forces. Inasmuch as they may delight, is also important to acknowledge the negative if for no other reason that the positive, the best, cannot exist without it.""

In navigating grief and mental health struggles, I often felt like some emotions were unwelcome visitors in my brain. When I thought on that idea of emotions as visitors, I asked myself "What else visits me?" I thought about how people, plants, animals, natural occurrences, etc. are all visitors in some way. I tried to approach each poem through a lens of being visited-- I wanted to address how these visits happen, how they feel, and the impressions each of these visits leaves on me. I also asked myself "What else gets visited?" I tried to capture what it feels like to be visited as well as the impressions that are left on other people and things that are visited. I hope you enjoy exploring these poems and that they can be welcome visitors to you.
