I am Jacob Andrews. 17 years old as of December 2006. American of Northern European ancestry; lived on the Far North/Northeast Side of Chicago all my life. I am a Christian, and though I don't think any identification should be necessary I am an Evangelical Pentecostal, though I have some very Catholic/Orthodox tendencies. Most of my poems revolve around my experience as a Christian, though that doesn't necessarily mean they're religious (though they usually are), because to me, everything is a religious experience: no difference between the sacred and the profane. That is all. Enjoy and all that.
