I am curious about things.

 

I am a poet first, and a writer second. Reading and writing were my way of understanding people. I'm not much of a talker, but I will listen and I will understand. Writing is what I do to get there. 

 

Younger, I was moved by the revolutionary writing of the Beatniks. I love music too, so I was fascinated by the combination the two produced.

 

Older, I fell deeply in love with the romantic period in literature. John Clare, Keats, Coleridge and Wordsworth all made me feel the words on the page.

 

I wanted to do the same thing.

 

Now I am always going back to T.S Eliott, Ezra Pound, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson or Sylvia Plath.
