Poetry has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up reading the poems my mother wrote in the corners of pages, alongside her doodles. Sometime around age nine or ten, I began writing my own pieces in the back of my school notebooks. Some fifteen odd years later, for lack of a better term, poetry is life. Spoken word has always been something that not only intrigued me but also intimidated me. As I grow more and more comfortable in this realm, I have become enthralled with so many spoken word artists.
