Missing the Mark was born of deep sorrow. 

​

The poems were written to house the pain of loss and were never

intended to be shared with an audience.

​
 

However, as the project grew, it became clear that these poems spoke, not to an individual understanding, but to something greater than a single "self".

​​

Anguish, while fiercely personal, is also a shared experience,

an intimate knowledge we all carry.

​

This collection is a reflection of breaking, of being broken, and of the long, trembling silence

before the damage can begin to mend.

​

These words are for all of us.

​

Half the profit after production from MIssing the Mark will be donated biannually 

to international grief and suicide-prevention organizations.

​

Once these donations have begun, no matter how small, they will

be recorded on this site.
