Poetry of Peacocks
I started a poetry blog entitled Poetry of Peacocks in 2012, and in 2018, I published a book of original poetry entitled, In Pursuit of Peacocks: a compilation of poetry and lyrics.
I believe that poetry has the ability to inspire, rally, provoke and provide connection. I come from a long line of strong women, who use their words to promote love through poetry, and I wanted to honor our history through my book as well. I publish my work, with the hope that my readers will feel less alone in their unique experiences of life. I hope that my words soothe, generate curiosity, create compassion, bring joy and make my readers feel more open and emotionally available.
If you would like to purchase a copy of In Pursuit of Peacocks, you can purchase it on Amazon:

In early 2019, I created the In Pursuit of Peacocks live show with bass guitar player, songwriter and teacher, Darren Thomas McGuire. The show has original songs, poetry reading underscored by original music, dance/poetry collaboration videos and tap dancing. We playfully call our duo group "Slaps and Taps," for Darren's slap bass playing and my tap dancing. If you would like to book the In Pursuit of Peacocks live show, you can email me in the contact section of this website.
Below you can see some show footage from the In Pursuit of Peacocks live show as well as a few
dance/poetry collaboration videos that I created with some of my talented and generous dance peers.
