I am a poet and artist living in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
When I was six years old, I had a severe brain injury. I couldn't walk,
or talk or eat. I am still handicapped and have seizures. In 8th grade
I started to write poetry with the help of my teacher, Mr. Micheletti.
I was very inspiried by him. It felt like I was speaking from the
spirit inside of me. To have poetry is a huge gift. Poetry is soothing.
It's what pulses through my body. It's what I see through my eyes. I
see beauty. |
