Find Wonder in the Smallest Seeds is an eco-poetic, lyrical collection that traces human grief and mortality alongside plant life that withers, adapts, and regenerates toward hope. Written during quarantine, when separation and loss reshaped daily life, the book emerged from a period of tending over three hundred houseplants in a 900-square-foot home, where cultivation became a practice of attention, care, and survival. These poems explore fragility, interdependence, vulnerability, and time, asking how art sustains meaning during crisis. The collection holds resilience and persistence as acts of care in the face of loss.
