“I live in Uptown and I like to write about its weird minutiae.”
“Overall, my writing and revision process is focused on capturing overall moods. I nitpick and fine comb through my work in order to prioritize conciseness while still maintaining poetic grace. Or at least that’s what I’m hoping for.”
“I wrote all of these pieces on my own volition, inspired by the people within my life. Typically, I get all my thoughts down through word vomiting on the paper, then spend the majority of my writing process revising. All of these writings have benefited from the perspectives of others, allowing me to get to a place where I am proud of my works.”
“My mother told me once that your first love is something you never truly get over. Your love for a person collides with your resentment towards them, catalyzing those feelings into a benumbed state of being that renders you helpless. This poem depicts the state of consternation that happens when you don’t know the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong in a relationship.”
