About Me
I’m a poet and spoken-word performer bridging the page and stage. My writing has appeared in literary journals and live venues alike, earning invitations to perform and curate spaces centered on lived experience. Rooted in vulnerability and sharpened by performance, my work explores the tension between silence and voice.
Between Silence and Voice
I did not grow up thinking I would stand at a microphone.
Writing began as something private - a way to make sense of what I could not say out loud. Long before publication or performance, there were notebooks filled with questions, contradictions, and quiet truths.
Over time, the silence felt heavier than the risk of speaking. The work moved outward. From page to stage. From private to shared.
I am interested in what happens when we stop editing ourselves for comfort. When grief is named. When desire is admitted, when honesty disrupts the room.
Poetry, for me, is not about performance alone. It is permission - for myself and for others.
The page is where I listen. The stage is where I offer. Both require presence. Both require courage.
Book Heather
I bring poetry into rooms that are ready for honesty. Each performance is grounded in presence, vulnerability, and connection - creating space for reflection, resonance, and shared experiences.
If you’re interested in bringing this work into your space, I welcome thoughtful inquires. Please include the budget range and location.
I am drawn to rooms where the work can be met with care.
