Nothing Dentured,
Nothing Gained
Satirical Poetry About Aging
In the third volume of the Four Seasons of Man series of poetry, we enter the invisible season of a man's life, when his body begins to betray him, regret settles in, and he struggles with leaving his best years behind.
Coming Nov 2, 2026
Nothing Dentured, Nothing Gained is for those in the autumn of their lives: when parties make you painfully aware of your age, when you’d rather hide beneath a weighted blanket than leave the house after eight o’clock, and when your once-trusted body begins quietly plotting against you. In this bleak but sometimes satirical collection of poems, we begin to sense our own mortality as the world leaves us behind for younger, prettier things. Journey through the absurdities of middle age, battle the ghosts of former selves, and confront the slow-creeping realization that perhaps our best days are already behind us. And if they are, there is still tomorrow. Unfortunately.
A Plague of
Hummingbirds
An Art Deco Apocalypse
A Plague of Hummingbirds is an elegy. These poems are about desolation, extinction, memory, and the ruins we leave behind. Journey through a dead world, beyond the rubble of sunken churches and obliterated cities, past weathered headstones and the rusted bones of industry. My poetry will lead you across sprawling fields of unmarked graves, through the wreckage of what was, toward the uncertainty of what comes next. The road will not be pleasant, but do not fear. Take my hand.
Welcome to the 2nd volume in the still-unnamed poetry series. In Who I Buried Under the Sunflowers and Other Confessions, I explored the budding chaos of the springtime of youth. In A Plague of Hummingbirds, I venture through the summertime of discontent and the loneliness one finds at the end of the world.

Who I Buried Under the Sunflowers and Other Confessions is a testimony. Grim secrets too bleak to reveal without meter. They are cautionary tales; a single lie hidden within a thousand truths. On every page, a congress of confessions. Here are poems of grief, guilt, memory, obsession, faith, and the ghosts we carry long after the graves have been filled. Some wounds fester. Some become gardens. I warn you: if you desire inner peace, you will not find it here. Many write poetry to escape. My poetry imprisons.
