Poetry furnishes our lives with a certain kind of beauty and is as much an art form as art itself is. It also serves as an outlet for our thoughts, granting substance to feelings that are physically felt but perhaps not yet cognitively understood. Used correctly, it can help us figure to out where we are, where we want to go and why we might be struggling to get there. In this way, it can educate, comfort, unite, help and heal.I turn to poetry when I feel uncertain and challenged, when there is something inside of me that I want to understand and communicate but cannot seem to get out. Poetry lends me a voice when I would otherwise have been silent.Below are links to samples of my most recent work, many of them semi-autobiographical. Written over a period of three years, they detail my experiences, adventures, feelings and thoughts. If you would like to read more, send me an email.
