POETRY

I wrote all the poems listed on this page over the last 13 years (or so). I love playing with words, and much of my poetry comes out of my desire to be playful with word-choice, form and content, but also be accessible, emotionally potent and easily understood. Personally, I just hate feeling stupid when I read poetry... “that sounds cool, but I don't get it..."

These are just a sample of my poetry for now. I am currently working on gathering my poems in a manuscript form, hopefully for publication. Enjoy!
