We do not publish books. We create legacies. 
Gabriela Marie Milton
Bio:
Allison Jensen is a poet whose work explores interior soundscapes, restraint, and the tension between silence and survival. She writes in measured free verse, often centering themes of identity, memory, and the unseen labor of endurance.
I measure breath
measure breath in lines I cannot keep,
Each thought a knock I fail to quiet down;
The walls remember promises of sleep
While echoes pace the rooms I try to drown.
A warning hums where silence used to stay,
Its pulse a tide that will not be denied;
I bargain with the dark to fade away,
But sound returns, unsoftened, multiplied.
No door will hold against the crowding noise,
No prayer can teach the mind to rest its case;
The night repeats what daylight still avoids,
And names my fear before I give it face.
Yet still I stand, though peace remains apart:
These measured lines restrain an unruly heart.
