What drives my writing...
What drives my writing...
I speak out sharply in my poetry by running my words over one another until they become weapons. As a professional educator, writing contemporary curriculum is the same as breathing. As a teacher of teenagers, writing mythologically inspired prose has become my passion. As an outspoken poet, writing words that will stab injustice and open minds is as necessary as breathing.
