fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
Things you ought to know.
Dear 27 year old me, there's something you ought to know. After 28 you'll feel like life is cold as snow. You'll lose your love, your passion, your kindess and sympathy. But please understand that all the anger you feel is only temporary. You'll come to understand that true love isn't lost at all, when you meet a truer constant love, in a hospital. The love you've known this far, is far and few between. And when you both have your first child, you’ll be the happiest you've been.

An Open Letter to Society
To Whom it May Concern, As a whole, America has come a long way. We have grown a lot the past to today. Slavery is always the elephant in the room. We are not allowed to speak on it. The subject is taboo. It happened, it is a part of our history. There's nothing we can do. I am a black woman, so slavery is a part of my life. My ancestors are majority black, a small handful are white. I visited the very plantation my ancestors lived on. I saw the living quarters, cotton fields, and so on. Small, dark and cramped are the adjectives I used while I was there. It is so unfair. But the past is the past, right?
