The Sweet & Sour Cupcake

 "The Sweet & Sour Cupcake" recounts the story of a bad relationship in the form of poems - from the deliriously sanguine and flirty all the way through to the bitter end. Mixed signals, tightly guarded secrets and unrequited love are abundant in this disastrous recipe for a broken heart and a bruised ego.

It Gets Better

I shared my coming out story as well as the poem "It Gets Better" with the fabulous new website rucomingout.com, inspiring people to share their stories and experiences. Read here.

"The burdens and pressures of family and society,

force you to internalize your spark and live life quietly.

But I promise you that it gets better,

no need to detail your sorrows in a farewell letter."

"It Gets Better" is also available in Out of the Closet.
