When I was young, my biggest dream was to be in a rock band so I began obsessively composing song lyrics. Little did I know that that discipline would one day turn into a love of poetry and the written word. Since my adolescence I have been writing poetry and it has been the most distinct and consistent passion in my life. I maintain a regular poetry writing practice and am in the beginning stages of a novel. My goal is to develop more formal knowledge, to explore a variety of writing methods and match my burning desire to communicate with the imperceptible with the discipline and structure to do so.
