The Cigarette

• Artist Statement

  There is something to be said about inspiration coming from love. It is more raw, more personal. It is tinted window directly to the author's thoughts, mentality, and even about their driving motivation. I am not a moderate person and in such I do not love moderately. Only by articulating how I feel will I help myself or even help find out how I am truly feeling. Poetry is a perfect medium, it is elegant, mysterious and concise.

• Creative Statement

  It influences everything I do. I seek it out and I try to find it in everything I do. It helps me connect with the outside world and get to know myself better in the process.
