A poetry collection about fatherhood, burnout, depression, and the quiet courage of perseverance.

Obsidian moves between forests and office towers, tenderness and rage, despair and endurance. These poems confront depression, corporate cruelty, and trauma while holding fast to love, nature, and the responsibility of what we leave behind.

Written with restraint and emotional honesty, Obsidian refuses sentimentality. It speaks instead to the daily work of remaining human in a world that rewards speed, silence, and extraction. Alongside the darkness are moments of fierce tenderness; poems for sons, meditations on grief, and small acts of defiance that insist kindness still matters.

Unsentimental, intimate, and fiercely humane, Obsidian is for readers who have felt worn down by the world, and kept going anyway.
