Explore the crisp glow and wiggle waggle wooziness of Reid’s debut collection, Thoughts on Tonight, where nighttime scenes are condensed into playful pools of music, nature, loss, and love.

Persistence of Perception is a strange, powerful poetry collection with the soul of a live spoken word album. Each poem is a memory meal for the happy and heartbroken alike—they will send you breathing through holographic meditations filled with haunting, humorous love and a little spiritual entertainment.
