Burn It Down

Non-fiction Book

Burn It Down: A History of Prisons, Police, and Protest in Arkansas traces the state’s carceral system from the arrival of the French to the present, revealing how slavery, convict leasing, and prison farms like Cummins and Tucker built an empire of incarceration. From slave patrols to modern policing, Arkansas has long used chains and cages to enforce power—but resistance has always burned alongside repression. This is a history of violence, but also of those who dare to resist. The question remains: What will we set ablaze next?​​

Fireweed & Flint

Poetry Book

Fireweed & Flint is a collection of poems born from a world on fire. In an age of upheaval—where empires crumble, movements rise, and the ashes of the old give way to what comes next—these poems ignite with resilience, rebellion, and rebirth. Like fireweed, which blooms defiantly in scorched earth, and flint, which sparks against steel, this collection is a testament to endurance, resistance, and the beauty found in struggle. Rooted in the American South and forged in the fight against oppression, Fireweed & Flint is both a call to action and an elegy for what’s been lost. In the smoldering remains of empire, these poems insist: we will bloom, and we will burn bright.
