So I've been writing prose and poetry in my own quiet little vacuum since adolescence, but up to this point I've been reluctant/shy to share my writing more broadly. I'm at a juncture now where curiosity about the merits of my work has led me here. I am keen to learn from the collective experience of others in order to improve the quality of my own work while appreciating the weight of impression I glean from reading you all. My only ask...please judge honestly and tenderly of me...
