a harras is a short film, experimental album, and chapbook of nine surreal and absurd poems. Through equine-themed imagery, readers are transported into a bizarre realm of angels and assassins. The resolute horses of this dream-like world carry readers through themes of loss and grief, loneliness and solitude, resilience and strength, love and longing, and freedom and transcendence. These unconventional works draw from the poet’s layered inner life and existential questions, illuminating a path toward transformation, purpose, and belonging.

crossmyheart (a harras reworks) transforms the dark poetry of a harras into a new sonic landscape of ritual electronics and experimental pop. Built from the original vocal recordings but radically reimagined musically, the album blends ambient atmosphere, industrial textures, and flashes of synth-pop energy into what could be called synth pop poetry. Reworks by luke kurtis are joined by contributions from long-time collaborators Michael Harren and Dudgrick Bevins.
