Observations from the Well

Observations from the Well explores what it means to remain attentive in a world shaped by violence, grief, displacement, memory, and love. Moving from public tragedies to intimate moments of family, friendship, aging, and everyday kindness, these poems ask how we bear witness to one another without turning away. The collection examines the lives we inherit, the losses we carry, and the quiet acts of care that allow us to endure. At its heart, Observations from the Well is a meditation on compassion, resilience, and the sustaining power of paying close attention.
