Hello Hello!
My greatest inspirations are Toni Morrison, Layli Long Solider and Carson McCullers' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter!
I write to explore the English language. To see what sounds and forms the words can take and still make sense! As a child, I escaped into books. I appreciated the structure of novels, but it got predictable, linear.
When I began to write I began to think about writing from a circular perspective or, a medicine wheel.
As a body worker and student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I focus on healing. How can writing be healing for me and to readers? I also find the body to be a fascinating metaphor.
For that reason I find my writing to be on the line of short story/poetry and on the line of song/poem however, I classify my writings as poems.
I look forward to your feedback
Thank you!
