| Introduction | Writing poetry is like breathing. It comes naturally to me, and I'm ever grateful for this gift. It's incredible because I've been writing for over two decades now. I wrote my first poem in kindergarden! Over the years, I've met people from all over the world, and remarkably, there is a simple common denominator: human emotions. Whether I'm having coffee with a friend in London or Stockholm, the bravado of emotions are the same: hurt feelings, the pain of rejection, the grief of a loved one, the anger of social injustice, the excitement of politics, and the frustration of religion. I get this. Through my poetry, I want to give voice to these precious emotions; I want to be a "voice crying out in the wilderness," connecting deeply to people's hearts, bringing an ever-lasting message of hope, faith and love. That's what I'm all about. So let my poems speak to you in a fresh, provocative way. Enjoy the blog! |
