I’m Brian J. Rahn, a poet, writer, and creative soul based in Wisconsin. My work explores the complexities of the human spirit, delving into themes of vulnerability, resilience, and self-discovery. Through my poetry, I aim to offer an honest and evocative reflection of life’s light and shadows.

Writing has been a part of my life since childhood, but for most of that time, I kept my words close, sharing them only with a small circle. Fractured Light, my debut poetry collection, marks a turning point—a deeply personal exploration of the moments that have shaped me. Each poem captures a piece of my journey, tracing a path through struggle and renewal while embracing the raw emotion and transformative power of imperfection and possibility.

In addition to writing, I own a thriving massage therapy studio, where I dedicate myself to supporting the well-being of my clients. My work in holistic health is deeply intertwined with my creative pursuits, emphasizing the importance of balance, connection, and healing in every part of life.

When I’m not writing or working, I love designing spaces, exploring nature for inspiration, and immersing myself in creative projects. For me, creativity and compassion go hand in hand, and I strive to make my work relatable, moving, and authentic.

Through my poetry, I hope to inspire others to find their own light—even in life’s fractured moments. Writing is a way for me to connect, reflect, and offer words of solace and strength to anyone who needs them.
