How We Fall
Jess, on the brink of turning 25, organizes a much needed reunion with her college friends at a beach house to celebrate her birthday. Oh, and a hurricane is coming, but they should be ok. At least that’s what they think…Trapped inside the beach house, what starts off as innocent fun and games turns into long held secrets coming to the surface, threatening to destroy the very landscape of their relationships.

T Club
Nat and Lily, sisters, are struggling. Nat, to keep her calm and make decisions with enormous consequences. Lily, to navigate being a pre-teen while dealing with a looming heaviness. Then, Raj, who's trying to catch up from the whiplash of shock, is thrown into the mix. All three have clear differences, yet they all share a common tragedy…their moms have brain tumors. Finding both solace and turmoil in each other, they, sometimes unwillingly, join each other's journeys. But when one of them reaches their tipping point, everything changes.

(UN)EARTHING
In (un)earthing, Jac Ford investigates her journey from lost young adult, foreign to herself, to empowered woman, unafraid of her potential. Her quirky pop references mixed with poignant language transport us into Ford's heart, mind, and body space as she wrestles with being in a femme body holding onto traumatic physical and emotional experiences. Ford asks, How can we find ourselves after surviving for so long? How do we move forward in a world wanting linear healing while we're stuck in a Jeremy Bearimy, non-linear, timeline of finding homeostasis? Can we?
An accessible, searing debut collection of truthful and radiant poems about finding and embracing oneself, baggage and all, (un)earthing illustrates what happens when we learn to commune with our Bodies and our past in order to move forward in harmony.
