Writing poetry isn’t just about choosing words that rhyme or fit a rhythm. The poetry you write—whether a traditional sonnet, a free verse experiment, or a visual concrete poem—directly shapes how readers experience your ideas and emotions.

I was born and raised in a small town in northern Idaho where I was brought up by a loving family.
