A book about personal healing, uncertainty, and optimism.

The third edition of Wind Through Quiet Tensions is now available from the publisher.

Originally published in 2014, Wind Through Quiet Tensions is a combination of memoir and contemplations. The first section focuses on a twelve-year period of my life: my journey with bipolar disorder, psychotherapy, and therapeutic applications of yoga and ayurveda. The second section is a collection of working theories: musings on what it has meant for me to be sick and how I’ve conceived of healing.

Wind Through Quiet Tensions is designed by Matt Austin and features my drawings preceding each section.

The third edition was published in November of 2025 by For The Birds Trapped in Airports.

The first edition was published by The Chicago Perch, a creative platform for social exchange. There is a hand-bound, hardcover edition of 50 (sold out) and a perfectbound edition of 250 (sold out).
