Natalie Halloway
“Not perfection. Recognition.”
Author of All in on Empty — a debut poetry collection about leaving home and surviving what comes after.
Available now in paperback & ebook
Written in the Middle of the Storm
Natalie Halloway writes from the Mojave Desert — poems made between casino lights, desert highways, and the unfamiliar silence of starting over.
Her debut collection wasn’t written safely from the other side. It was written on sleepless nights, after long shifts, under red desert sunsets.
“I am blown away… these poems tore through my years and struggles as a young adult. Really dynamic.”
— Missouri Reader, 5-star review
All in on Empty
A poetry collection about leaving home and surviving what comes after — written between casino lights, desert highways, storage units, fractured relationships, and unfamiliar silence.
Raw, intimate, and quietly devastating, it lingers in the space between who we were, who we became, and the people we lost trying to get there.

“My license plate still names
a place I once called home,
but I crossed the desert miles
because of you alone.”
— from All in on Empty
