'alice' is a collection of poetry stemming from my high school days to the present.

This is the third book in my collection of poetry, spanning over the end of high school through college, over heartbreak and finding myself again.

Within the pages of Ebb Tide, one can witness the transition from childhood to adulthood of a young woman who has known magic and beauty, but must reconcile such innocence with the harsher aspects of gained independence. Poems can be uncomplicated when reflecting upon a memory or an understood emotion, cryptic when attempting to make sense of the deeper nuances of such emotions, and dramatic when forcing enchantment on a practical world.
