Dear October: Poems

"Dear October" is a collection of poems that explore the natural world and the deeply personal experience of caring for a dying mother during her final year. Using the twelve moons of that year as a framework, the poems intertwine themes of home, family, and cultural diversity in Northern New Mexico, blending memories, landscape, myth, and dreams. The collection reflects on the passage of time and the intimacy of loss, offered through the author's poetic contemplation.
