Description
I chose to present five poems that I have written during this past year -- the most challenging, and most rewarding, year of my college career. The first two poems I wrote at the beginning of the semester in the Intro to Poetry class, while the last two poems are pieces I wrote for publication in Parallax. I have chosen these four poems for two reasons: to illustrate the progression of my poetry- writing skill over the course of the year, and to speak to the therapeutic aspect of writing poems, as writing these have helped me process events, emotions, and desires in a positive, creative way. I plan to continue writing poetry as a way to express myself and my deepest thoughts -- thank you to the English Department for bringing poetry back into my life.
