When I Sit

When I Sit is a book of poetry shaped by stillness, attention, and the quiet movements that arise when nothing is demanded. The poems emerge from moments of sitting — not to escape the world, but to meet it more closely. They follow breath, sensation, thought, and silence, allowing language to rest rather than explain. Written in a minimalist and reflective tone, When I Sit explores presence as a lived experience. The poems do not instruct or persuade; they observe. Each text opens a small space where awareness can settle, where the reader is invited to pause and notice what unfolds beneath habit and expectation. The book moves gently through themes of change, vulnerability, time, and embodied awareness. Its language is sparse, precise, and attentive, leaving room for the reader’s own experience to enter. Meaning is not fixed, but allowed to arise and dissolve, much like thought itself. When I Sit can be read as poetry, as meditation, or as a companion to moments of quiet reflection. It speaks to readers drawn to contemporary poetry, mindfulness, and contemplative writing — and to anyone curious about what becomes visible when we stop, sit, and listen.
