The House of Small Gods is a home where devotion curdles into possession and love becomes liturgy performed by an unreliable priest. These poems chart a relationship cycling through worship and harm, where pets, rage, and routine become altars, service becomes strategy, and apology becomes holy armor. Through tight formal constraints, this debut collection explores the gap between who we claim to be and what we enact. This is not confession but patterned revelation: a catechism demanding elaboration. A work examining the dark psychology of ordinary devotion and the quiet violences we call care.
