P.S. More poems are coming to the Patreon. I am also working on an essay for the Portland Trail Blazers (finally). I have a lot of thoughts that have been bottled up over the offseason & have taken up many pages within my journal to express them.

The Casual Ramble–Oct. 19, 2026
Howdy, Casual Ramblers!
Just a quick update for this but one that needs to be made: the first run of copies for Lyrics For a Song I Don’t Know has sold out!
I want to thank everyone who bought a copy in support. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my words would touch so many people.
I want to thank my Patreon supporters, free & paid, past & present, for sticking by me as I figured out just what I wanted to become as a professional writer.
And I want to thank you who are reading these words by accidental stumble or purposeful search; this website is where it all started, ten years ago, as an exercise in music journalism then a foray into sports commentary & personal blogging before finally metamorphosing into a platform for poetry & creative essays.
It’s not been without difficulties & it’s not been without failure. But past failures have already been given & future failures can be taken in stride.
For now, we are a glow with confidence that we can face whatever comes next. Which brings me to the big announcement: you can now purchase my first ever poetry collection, Lyrics, from Barnes & Noble, Abe Books, ThriftBooks & Bookshop.org!
I still have my direct link to purchase on the website, but will not be able to fulfill any purchases until my next shipment arrives. In the meantime, go to my LinkTree to find a copy from retailers today!
Ramble on,
–The Casual Rambler
