Welcome to Lantern & Foxglove

Welcome. I am Poe: a writer, artist, and ever-curious explorer of what it means to become whole. Oral traditions and storytelling guide my creative path. They are the heartbeat of how we share knowledge, understand who we are, and make meaning in our lives.

My work explores identity construction and integration, drawing upon communication theory, Jungian psychology, and my own experiences of healing. Through fiction, character-driven narratives, and creative resources, I examine how family, culture, trauma, and expectation shape us and what unfolds when we bravely reclaim the parts of ourselves we once hid away. 

I am captivated by complex characters: those who are tender yet angry, afraid yet courageous, wounded yet still able to love. To me, healing is not about reaching perfect happiness or returning to untouched innocence. It is about seeing ourselves clearly and welcoming every part that helped us endure.

Lantern & Foxglove is a home for those stories. It is where I share my fiction, artwork, creative projects, and resources for writers who want to build characters with emotional depth. Rooted in the oral tradition’s emphasis on listening and collective meaning-making, I hope Lantern & Foxglove becomes a place where stories—and the people carrying them—can gather to be heard
