Writing gives me space to think and make sense of the world around me. Whether it’s poetry or a screenplay idea sitting in my notes app, I find the rhythm and emotion in everyday experiences.
This page includes some of my favorite poems, including one I wrote when I was eleven about moving into a new house with my mom—embarking on the unknown, together. That piece, with its imperfections and misspellings, sits in a frame in my house and reminds me why I write.
Whether it’s a line of poetry or a scene on a page, I want to make others feel something real, to see the world a little differently, or to remember a moment that matters in their hearts. I hope you enjoy.
That New House by Jacob Burack (2018)
