A love that lives in the dirt

A LOVE THAT LIVES IN THE DIRT is poetry collection containing 40 pieces written between 2022-2024, and was originally printed in one single copy and bound at a traditional bookbindery in Barcelona, Spain during my first art residency at Can Serrat. It was self-published in 2025 in both a hardcover and softcover variation.

This collection is a Scorpionic journey, initiating me into expanses and depths of grief that I never knew were possible and of my own erotic nature in equal measure. This work is a devotional to Death. To the process of dying, killing, ending, and existing in the void thereafter. This book is a talisman for the destigmatization of suicidal ideation and an artifact of surviving parental abuse. My hope is that these words can sit with you whenever you are in the dark and that you will feel less alone. And that they can serve as a testament to your own erotic capacity.
