A collection of poems about love and loss under the golden California sun. About incarnate grace and finding religion where no god should live. About heartbreak and sorrow and the ocean as healer and destroyer. About sin and the sanctuary of bodies. About finding a home where you were never born. About ever-trembling hands and wildfire hearts. About moving on. About going back. About learning how to stay.

Santo California Reviews

    "If California is a church / then it is a cathedral / filled with confession"
    "So call this what it is- I make saints out of the places I love"
    "I do not know many saints / but I know how to make myself holy"
    "You barely twenty, / me American-legal, / I don't think we were supposed / to empty ourselves like that yet"
    "I learned to love the burning / more than I love the warmth"
