The Joy Of Working At Something To

Crassly Put: When I Write, I Am Trying Not To Bore Myself And My Readers.

Listen How They Say Your Name. If They Can't Say That Right, There's No Way They're Going To Know How To Treat You Proper, Neither.

It's Unfortunate That Sometimes In Schools, There's This Need To Have Things Quantified And Graded.

We Tend To Be So Bombarded With Information, And We Move So Quickly, That There's A Tendency To Treat Everything On The Surface Level And Process Things Quickly. This Is Antithetical To The Kind Of Openness And Perception You Have To Have To Be Receptive To Poetry.poetry Seems To Exist In A Parallel Universe Outside Daily Life In America.

To Me, A Poem Is Almost Like Someone Whispering To Another Person, Or You Hear The Whispering In Your Head. I Hope With My Own Poems That The Reader Feels A Connection, Soul To Soul, That'll Help Us All Feel A Little Less Alone On The Planet. And It Does Have The Power To Direct Change. A Writer Can Make The Word 'dark' Be Something Positive. You Can Relieve A Word Like 'hysterical' Of Its Misogynistic Implications. You Can Make The Language Your Own. That's What Poetry Is About.
