prima materia

my first poetry collection uniquely captures my voice as a queer poet and scientist trying to make sense of the world around me. these poems move through the intangible experiences of grief, confusion, and shame, transforming them into awareness. the concept of prima materia, which translates to “first matter” in latin, closely embodies my vision for my blog, brain vomit. the messy, fundamental feelings we often repress or push aside are the very sources of wisdom we tend to ignore. by giving these feelings language, we can begin to understand what they have been trying to teach us.
