disclosure: sharing my writing is scary and something i held onto for a very long time. please read with kind eyes! letting go is part of the exercise!
poetry, my preferred method of writing, is not just about reaching a broad statement about life. poetry becomes an aesthetic experience only insofar as objects are made unfamiliar within art and we can enter and experience the process of percpetion. poetry refreshes our understandings of language and the world. poetry reacquaints us with our senses: tasting something again for the first time, how it feels to walk through nature, or even the joy and excitement of obtaining a piece of clothing that is now forgotten as we wear it out. poetry reminds us. poetry strangifies common human experiences. poetry is beautiful! poetry is power! poetry is art!
please navigate through the toolbar above to parse through my various scribbles. most of this section is geared towards my poetry, but you will also find a section dedicated to prose.
