About Me
Much of my poetry is about addiction. It played a huge, if not the only, role for many years of my life. I'm now a recovering addict, clean for over a year. I'm also recovering from self-mutilation, which I have come to recognize as part and parcel of the disease I have.
It's mostly those, and things like those, that inspire me to write poetry, although sometimes other things do, too. Poetry has been my saving grace more than once; if I couldn't write I might not be here today. That's a big thing to say, but it's true.
I welcome constructive criticism, I want to get better, not have my a*s kissed. (That wasn't meant to be inflammatory or egotistical, even if it came across that way.) Although compliments are always welcome, too!
