Weekend Revival is a chapbook that maps a personal odyssey through diverse landscapes—traversing the back roads of South Carolina, the rugged mountains of West Virginia, and the roaming shores of Lake Michigan. This collection delves into the intricate relationship between place and identity, illustrating how the environment shapes our experiences and perceptions. Through vivid imagery and reflective verse, the poems explore how these settings influence our understanding of ourselves and our stories.
Weekend Revival also reveals how the quiet, often overlooked moments of our lives can hold the most profound significance, and ultimately underscores the power of storytelling in reflecting and refining our sense of self, demonstrating that both the places we inhabit and the stories we tell are integral to our journey of self-discovery.
