I graduated from the George Washington University with a major in Liberal Arts and minor in Creative Writing. Since then I have written consistently. I discovered poetry in college as a way to express experiences, perceptions and emotions that are not often not openly talked about, but which are most often dealt with individually and are also central to what it means to be human. I realized the power of a short, structured group of words that is often non-fiction and can bring light to nearly anything human by relating it to something unlike itself in metaphor, symbolism and other tools of the language. Poetry is unique in this capacity and in some way gets to the root of language, meaning and humanity in the multifarious forms it comes in.
