poems
I'm excited to debut "Whales Keep Carbon Out of the Atmosphere" — my first video! This poem was originally published by The Pinch journal in Fall 2019, but I wanted to try making it into a video to bring out its visual and auditory potential. Tom Roppelt — whose creativity knows no bounds! — wrote the music especially for this film.
