by Michael Alexson-Leyba

A collection of poems from the places where love, grief, and the self intersect.

Paperback | 58 pages | Barnes & Noble Press | 2021


Michael is a poet, a writer, a student, a witch, an “abomination against God” according to an evangelical street preacher, and a “gay little raccoon” according to his friends. He was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He tries to use his writing to capture the often-elusive emotions surrounding love, loss, identity, spirituality, and all the intersections thereof.
