I read and write poems everyday. I've taught poetry to high school students. You could say that poetry is pretty important to me, especially poetry that is honest, true, and packs a punch. I read poetry that not only speaks to me, but to all: POC, queer-identified folks, non-binary, trans, women, men, aliens, mermaids, ghosts, etc. When I say everyone, I mean everyone. None of us have it right all the time, but the point is we try.
