On the night Taylor came out to his parents, his life completely changed. His father rejected him, his mom is thinking God knows what and he might just be on the brink of getting shipped off to a conversion clinic. To keep himself safe, Taylor keeps his head down, avoids getting into trouble, all while trying to find a way to get his father to have a change of heart, which seems almost impossible.Just as his safety hangs in the balance, Taylor meets Matthew, and over the course of the following days, begins a relationship. As their romance blossoms, the risk of getting caught increases, and when things get out of hand, Taylor needs to find a way to keep himself safe before it's too late.

Woman by the Door is a collection of poems that crystallized over the last 9 years, starting to take shape when Kashiana moved from India to the US in 2013. These poems are born of necessity and travel in and out of that doorway into many spaces before and after that point in time. Serving as a problem-solving tool, poetry continually helps Kashiana focus and refocus towards a center of gravity. Coming together in this knitted collage are poems rooted in lived experiences and saturated with the poet's varied sensibilities and influences. The poems flow through three sections - Aperture explores poems of memory and family, Portal opens the door to transition and growth, Detours holds our hand through loss and ache. The woman herself is an intersection, always kneeling by the door - coming, going, waiting, leaning in. Witnessing. Relentlessly she receives and offers lifetimes. Woman by the Door is ultimately preoccupied with paying tribute to that woman.

Many call it the biggest upset in sports history. Bigger than the Jets over the Colts in Super Bowl III. Bigger than the U.S. hockey team's "Miracle on Ice" win over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Bigger than Buster Douglas's stunning KO of Mike Tyson 10 years later.

What started out ten years ago as a required thesis for a Master's Degree in Communication has evolved into an intimate memoir of the author's professional and personal experiences during a forty-year, well-traveled career.
