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.
On Being Changed by a Poem
After discovering the poetry of John Wieners, I was left with a sense of literary regret: Where have you been all my life? I knew that, from then on, my writing would not escape Wieners' influence. My poetry would aspire to pay homage to his subtle style, which embodies postmodern detachment while painting emotionally rich symbolic landscapes in a modestly understated light.

Love
Love, luminous, lovely, love. Lavishly luxurious, loveably learned. Look, lovers. Love loves love. Love likens learners. Love likens luminance. Love loves liberation. Love leads, linked like larks. Love launches limitlessly. Luxuriously lenient. Love lives long, love longs like labyrinths. Love liberates lives. Love loves love.

Echoes of My Soul
The pen felt heavy in my hand as I tried to compose my thoughts into coherent sentences. I stared blankly at the paper before me, lost in the echoes of my soul. Memories flooded my mind, each one more vivid than the last. I closed my eyes and let myself drift away, transported to a different time and place.
