Portland
The Census Bureau calls me Allen Dunkirk Wesson Page. My friends call me Allen. My brother calls me Stefano. I am a poet living in Portland working as a part-time barista at my friend's eco-friendly, hipster, super-indie, and of course, OPEN SOURCE, coffee shop. I draw my poetic inspirations in large part from the L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E poets, the New York school, and the beat generation. Perhaps my largest influences have been Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, and Rae Armantrout. I like to write poetry commenting on my life, on world events, or, really, of whatever pops into my head.
