Now that I’ve declared I was a poet (much more so than just a fiction writer), I decided to really put myself out there.
By recording poetry as “spoken word.”
This was a huge thing for me as I absolutely HATE the sound of my own voice. This mainly stem from a history of speech problems due to my hearing impairment.

Quiet was my very first attempt. This poem was actually inspired by having listened to so many of Avi Kaplan’s music:

I may do more in the near future.
