Salt Air to Mud Water felt like a fitting poem to

Salt Air to Mud Water felt like a fitting poem to share this week after I got back from California. 🤍

My next book of poetry will explore these themes of home; my experience of growing up on the California coast followed by my journey as a Southern transplant.

This is just a short snippet of the full poem—Make sure to read the rest in my book, Mud Water Will Rise!

Hey ya’ll. I am so excited to announce another opportunity to support Appalachia with Mud Water Will Rise Book sales! 💙📚

During Thanksgiving week (11/25-11/28), 10% of book sales will be donated to the Appalachian Literacy Initiative. This charity provides books to underprivileged children & low-income students across Appalachia. Researchers have found that 83% of low-income students do not read on a skilled reading level by 3rd grade and 61% do not have books in their home. Both of these statistics increase the likelihood of dropping out of high school. By increasing access to books for students who are low-income and/or live in rural areas, dropout rates decrease!

As Appalachia recovers from Hurricane Helene, supporting these students access to books is more important than ever.

You can purchase my book, Mud Water Will Rise, on my website (link in bio), on Amazon, and on Walnut Street Publishing. Join me in supporting students in Appalachia! 🫂

The last two weeks in California have me thinking

The last two weeks in California have me thinking about what it means to be home. 🤍 My heart continues to be torn in two; when I’m back in California, I yearn for the Appalachian mountains, the Tennessee River, and the community we’ve built in Chattanooga. But within a few days back, I find myself missing the California coast, our family, childhood friends, and the ocean’s serenity.

I suppose home really is where the heart is, and both California and Tennessee will always have a piece of my heart. While this mix of emotions brings uneasiness at times, I consider myself blessed to have two homes full of love, community, and beauty.

Now that the weather is shifting to colder days, we’re settling in for the winter and staying put for a long while, y’all. See you in 2025, California. Love you. Miss you. #GoneSouth
