My curiosity for poetry piqued when I took my first creative writing class in ninth grade. I wrote my first poem after I was inspired by the famous painting “Great Wave off Kanagawa” in Hoksuai’s “36 views of Mount Fuji” painting series.

My current goal is to write enough poetry to eventually create a book. Starting with the early poems I’ve written and ending in my latest poem. As a collection, this book tells the story of my inspiration as a poet and the meanings I intend through my writing.

My philosophy when it comes to writing my poetry is that it doesn’t matter if I put five minutes into it, or five hours. If it comes out well, and is beautiful, then it is a good use of my time to have created that piece of poetry and the emotions and feelings I can communicate through them. I make poetry for the artistic value of it.
