Hi there,

I’m Alex :)

I’m a poet/artist based out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Poetry & art came to me as a form of therapy and self-reflection, and as a medium where I felt I could connect my soul with the other. Turns out we’re not so different after all.

As I navigated my twenties, I learned that engaging with my community truly lit me up inside! I wanted so badly to offer more. To give people a space to express, to relate, connect, or just to breathe, deeply. So, I started hosting poetry nights, collaborating with local therapists to offer monthly gatherings, applying for artist residencies, and then, I did something I’d always wanted to do: I sat outside with my old Royal typewriter and I wrote custom poetry on the spot for strangers.

I fell in love with it.

It was thrilling! It was a dance that held the stillness of a moment, and a space for deep connection. It was a way for me to tap into another person’s world, even for just a minute.

That was three years ago and I haven’t stopped since.

I pop up at jazz nights, weddings, more art walks, backyard events (and any event someone wants to hire a cool poet for, wink wink). I do commission pieces: love letters, self-love odes, handmade books, help with vows, memorabilia, and any writing/poetry requests that align with my purpose.

I write for myself, too. I am currently in the process of putting together my own collection of poetry and prose, as well as creating a poetry/writer workshop for people to huddle up and be human together.

When I’m not all things words, you can find me working in my garden, giggling with my friends, sleeping in a tent somewhere under the stars, or whipping up my new favorite dish in the kitchen!

If you’re looking for the next cool thing, like a poet at your event, OR a custom piece OR inquiries about workshops and other events OR all of the above, please fill out the form :)
