Biography

I'm a sophomore at Princeton University, and in the fall semester I'll begin the Creative Writing program there. I'm so excited! I was first really exposed to poetry in the 5th grade, and I owe that teacher my very soul for bestowing me with this gift. Writing poetry is my passion, and I have yet to figure out what I'll do to pay the bills and support my habit of scribbling words on paper, as if words could save a wretch like me, and hoping you all hear echoes of yourselves in my voice.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
