Characteristics of a Modern Muse

If you have ever felt the pull to create—only to be silenced by perfectionism, writer’s block or the fear of being judged—these poems will feel like they have been waiting for you.

Characteristics of a Modern Muse follows the creative journey from self-doubt and resistance to inspiration, expression and flow. It is a collection for aspiring writers, artists and creators who are ready to stop waiting for permission and awaken the muse they have been searching for.

She was inside you all along.

Maybe it’s Melpomene

If you have ever tried to turn grief into meaning, pain into beauty or the parts of your life you could not explain into something you could finally express, this collection is for you.

Maybe It’s Melpomene [mel·puh·me·nee] explores what happens when sorrow becomes a muse and the stories that once silenced us begin asking to be written. These poems are for the women who feel deeply, carry more than they say and are ready to create something honest from everything they have survived.

Perhaps tragedy was never the end of your story. Perhaps it was where your voice began.

Poetry for those who feel deeply, create bravely and refuse to leave their stories unspoken.
