Yeah, the drop-down menus took me a while. Hope you enjoy 'em. Please also click on the headers for each page, as they contain a photo that introduces the section.
This is starting to come together in a way that I'm becoming proud of, which is fun. The poetry feels really rocky, the fiction feels slightly less so, and the third section feels a bit more empty than I'd like, but it's definitely pushing me create more, which is what I want. The truth is, my most profound goal of this is to begin a conversation with you, whoever you are. I was talking to a friend recently. They said that they had a friend who was a painter, who had made a potentially empty offer of giving her one of his (the painter's) works. She said she actually did want to take him up on it, but didn't think there was really anything behind the offer, so wasn't going to push it. I encouraged her to do the opposite - to ask, honestly, for a painting. Maybe offer to pay for it. Why? Because whether or not the offer was empty, what could an artist possible dream of if not to have someone ask for their work? That's kind of what I mean by saying I want to start a conversation. I know it's a little bit uncomfortable to admit that you're reading this, and it's probably even more difficult to approach me about a particular piece. But, in case this helps you overcome that: there is absolutely nothing that would make me happier or more proud than to be approached about anything on this website. So if you have even any semblance of an opinion, or a comment, or a suggestion, or a critique, or anything at all to say, I want to let it be known that if you do reach out to share that, it will most definitely make my day, and probably more than that. If you don't say anything, that's cool too. In that case, I won't know who you are, which is really more than fine, but since I won't be able to tell you individually, let me say this here, anonymously and publicly: thank you, very much, for reading.
