Collected Original Poetry
31 parts Ongoing Just a spot for my poetry going into 2023. Criticism welcome.
As a novelist, I look at short stories and poems as exercises. Poetry in particular helps me with word choice, coherence, and ironically writing speed. I've always struggled with an appreciation for poetry in particular as the discourse around it can be too ambivalent or too exclusive. As with all of my work, my skills come from self exploration and discussions with writers I've met in my life.
I'll try to keep the poems clean, but please assume that you may need to do some arduous self reflection. I hope you get something out of this.
