• Artist Statement

  Make Me As Perfect As The Glowing Sun is a collection of three poems, which all share the theme of rebirth. Each poem also uses light, or the absence of it, to represent something more abstract. A More Perfect Man presents a call to a creator to change yourself willingly, exploring the idea of changing into something unrecognizable, and ends in total darkness. Thy Holy Warrior presents a situation of fighting a demon inside yourself in a grand and biblical sense, exploring the idea of true hopefulness in the face of despair, and ends in heaven’s light. Ode: The Firefly is written for a firefly whose light is now fading, exploring the idea of losing your youth, becoming a new person in death, and shows how light and darkness are both necessary. All three poems are dear to my heart, and have helped me grow as an author.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is as necessary as breathing. We were born to create, to be more than what we are. We create a version of ourselves unique to anyone else, and I believe that this part of being human is the most beautiful part of living.
