I always have the urge to be writing. At all times. When my emotions are high and deeply interpersonal, I turn to poetry. The magic of writing something short but intensely detailed, with hidden meanings and contagious imagery. I am able to create something that sticks and lingers in the back of my mind.

I recently created my first poetry collection, titled “FAR FROM HOME”. I interviewed a group of strangers, asking them intricate questions about their childhood homes. I then created 18 personal and unique poems for every person. I felt this sense of connection and understanding to a group of people I knew nothing about, feeling as if I’ve stood in their shoes before. This feeling was unmatched, and emphasizes the fact that we are all complex and individual people, who want to be loved and remembered. We love to feel seen. And that’s what poetry does.
