The body of work.

Eight titles across memoir, theory, somatic practice, civic analysis, and fiction. Some are out, some are close, some are still becoming. The arc is one body of work: name what extracts from a modern life, give the reader the architecture to take it back.

Journey from the Edge

Available · 2023

Memoir

The survivor account. A clinician's passage through what should have ended a career and didn't. The seed text the rest of the work grew from.
