Hey there, welcome to the little space on the web dedicated to my writing.

I am 23-years old and live in NYC.

Simply put, I quite love words. The written, spoken, and vocalized (I mean singing!) word is the medium in which I feel I express myself best.
After reading any of my poetry you'll have had a glimpse of what's inside me, which both thrills and terrifies me simultaneously.

Though a glimpse is only a glimpse.

I find that poetry comes to me when I am feeling strong emotions. Strong emotions for me, especially in my teenage years included fear, sadness, grief, frustration, and confusion. Emotions like passion, lust, and love, and the state of being in love are still new to me in the year 2010. I'd fallen in love just one year ago, and for something so new, it felt so familiar. So my newer writings, if I choose to publicly post them, reflect these new experiences.

I'll conclude this bio with a favorite poem/ quote of mine:

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Into his nest again,
I shall not live in vain
."--Emily Dickinson
