Porch Light

At its heart, Porch Light is a story about growing up and gratitude. This debut collection of poems is an appreciation of childhood, nature, and character instilled from a central Kentucky upbringing. Porch Light begins in the rolling knobs outside Perryville, Kentucky, with the celebration of a freight train's "Red Caboose" to the joy of a school "Snow Day." There is self-reflection: adulthood's uncertainty in "Pressure" to belief in oneself in "You Have Worth." Through it all is an abundance of joy-love of home in "Her Name Was Percy Shades" and love at home in "Dear Kevin." Porch Light offers gentle tribute to the places and memories that comprise our spirit and encourage lasting acceptance.
