In short

  • I started writing poetry when I was fourteen.  It started out as something I did our of boredom now it has developed into one of my passions.  Over the course of four years in high school, I had 27 of my poems published in my schools literary magazine.  I have written two poetry books and a children's book.  Eventually I want to publish a book of my poetry and maybe write an autobiography.
