I would define poetry as the art of describing the world from a personal point of view. When I write, I think about what I really perceive when I feel. Poetry has to be personal. It has to make a connection that puts a spark in the readers' heart. We are all human, but for some unknown reason it is hard to relate to others and know exactly what they are feeling. Poetry transcends that gap. It lets you into the fear, joy, sorrow, love, and insecurity that everyone feels from time to time.

Growing up in rural Kentucky was a challenge. There were times I thought that no one would ever agree or relate to anything that I had to say. There were years that I felt alienated from society. My poetry reflects such emotions. It speaks of things that are uncomfortable and in need of being rethought. It deals with personal truths.

When I write I search for words that will give a voice to the muted. I look for reason amongst a universe of whiteout silence. I dig deep down inside and pull out what truths I've found. I hope that sharing my sediments will help people relate and understand the randomness we call life.
