Written in the wake of a family tragedy, Flowers for Alex presents the first year of grief following the murder of Stotts' brother, Alex Oyombe Gradin, by gun violence. Through a diary-like, chronological record, Stotts explores the cycles of death and rebirth, not only in physical death, but in all of life's joys and heartbreaks - in love, break ups, mental health struggles, a global pandemic, spiritual growth, and in the expansion of consciousness.

I’d like to say this is a collection of poems, but it’s not. It’s a collection of my deepest emotions that we’re designated for someone very close to me. Sadly, this person is no longer with me, so I wrote her this. I wrote her this collection of heartache. If Only We Had More Time tells the story of a woman sitting at her wife's grave talking to, and reminiscing about their life. If Only We Had More Time is loosely based off a true story.

these are the words from the Doggos are Unhappy with your Ceaseless Petulance.
