Artist‘s Statement
I knew that I wanted to work on poetry when I first joined Girls Write Now. I expressed the more lonely side of my formative years in vague motions and wished to highlight the passage of time in my pieces. While there were other pieces I wrote that I did not push to completion, I believe that I have further developed my literary voice and understand what modes of writing come more naturally and resonate with me more than others.
