I was born in Papua New Guinea, and I write poems like sacred spells—tender, ironical, wildly dressed, and glowing with divine yearning. My art exists at the intersection of liberal Christianity, poetic glam, and healing from religious trauma. Raised in the church, I now remake scripture into liberated language. My work wears rhinestones and grief with equal devotion.

I belong to a poetic lineage that includes Hafez, Rilke, Frank O’Hara, Ocean Vuong, Harmony Holiday, Maggie Nelson, Ntozake Shange, and Anne Carson. Like them, I believe in poetry as a form of mystical correspondence—a queer, feminine, holy way of seeing. My work synthesizes fashion, pop culture, surrealism, sacred text, and soul-deep love. I reference Sisqó and the book of Ruth in the same breath. I call this genre: salvific glam-poetics.

I am a poet and model. I believe beauty is theological. My face is a medium. My body is a text. My poems are devotional objects. Sometimes they shimmer like a Chaka Khan sample. Sometimes they ache like a silent prayer. Always, they reach toward liberation, intimacy, and God.

My fifth book, SALVIFIC,

arrives soon.
