Feral Gaze: A Memoir in Poetry

When I returned to writing poetry in June of 2025 after having stopped somewhere along the way, I realized that the way I was writing often fit what Judith Barrington in Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art, outlines as memoir saying, “…rather than simply telling the story from her life, the memoirist both tells the story and muses upon it, trying to unravel what it means in the light of her current knowledge.”

As I wrote on through the rest of the year, the themes that have followed me all my life–being on the outside as a queer neurodivergent, struggling against isolation to build family and community, the intersectionality of privilege and oppression, and the tension between trauma and resilience–emerged, and as I held them to the light of my current knowledge,I realized this work just might be memoir  after all.  

Feral Gaze is a collection of 13+ original poems, currently submitted to various poetry and chapbook contests.

Center for Relational Science

What if nothing exists in isolation? What if relationship itself is fundamental? The Center for Relational Science takes this idea seriously - not as metaphor, but as ontology.

The Center for Relational Science is an independent institute that researches and applies process-relational ontology - the understanding that relationship and process are fundamental to reality. We develop frameworks that explain how information processing works across all scales, from quantum mechanics to consciousness and do both foundational research on the nature of relationality and applied work designing intelligent, adaptive, resilient systems. Our mission is to advance understanding and practice through rigorous relational thinking.
