Under the Big Oak Tree
Immersive Audio Edition

Chris here, the author & narrator. This version of my book is one I hold extremely close to my heart. In fact, it may be my favourite because I’ve always found comfort in sounds. In nature, in music, in silence.This edition, which I call my Immersive Audio Edition, is produced exactly how my soul hears these poems come alive off the page. Narration, music, and sound design flow together to carry you through the seasons of the collection, giving each chapter and poem a sense of movement, connection, and space to breathe.The poems explore dating, family, mental health, first loves, mistakes, self-discovery, and learning to love — others and yourself. This edition is the way I most authentically experience the work, and I’m sharing it with you exactly as I hear it.For anyone who connects with spoken-word, reflective poetry, or immersive storytelling, this edition is the book as I meant it to be heard.
