There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when words are spoken instead of read.

 The page becomes breath.

 The silence between lines turns into heartbeat.

When I first started recording Teeth in the Silence, I knew it couldn’t be read by just anyone. The voice had to feel the weight of every pause, the ache, the restraint, the quiet fury beneath the language.

That’s when I heard Cornelius Clarke.

There’s something haunting and beautiful in his delivery, the way he lets a sentence linger, how his tone drifts between shadow and light. He doesn’t just read these poems. He inhabits them. Every whisper, every break in the voice, carries the same pulse I felt when I wrote them.

Working with Cornelius has been an incredible experience. He understood immediately that this book isn’t simply poetry, it’s confession, memory, and resurrection. And his narration captures that perfectly.

The audiobook version of Teeth in the Silence is currently in production and will be available soon across Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books.

 It’s more than a reading, it’s an experience.

Each poem breathes differently when spoken. Some feel gentler. Others, darker. But all of them sound like the truth I was trying to write.

I can’t wait for you to hear it.

 To everyone who’s supported this journey, thank you for listening, in every sense of the word.
