A Musa Oblectata: Poetry
Art is all about moving people; it's about prompting in them the same emotions that caused me to write in the first place. Unfortunately, that's where my control ends. After I expose you to what I was feeling, it's your choice how to respond.
These poems come from a six-year span, and so the ideas and emotions they communicate are broad and diverse. There are elements of my life represented therein that I don't agree with anymore; it's no longer my experience. But they are a part of my history, both creatively and as the person I've been becoming all this time. And, as such, I feel obligated to share them.
I hope you enjoy this brief, but true, look into the woman I've been, and--I hope--the woman I'm becoming.
