i'm a forty-four year old wanderer who has been making attempts toward poetics since i was sixteen. i have a deep-seeded belief that everyone is a poet, and that all things are poetry. i'm extremely amped at this opportunity to join this site because i've heard numerous positive things about it from multiple poets. my influences include Whitman, Whitman, Whitman, Simic, Langston Hughes, Suffern Slam Society, Elizabeth Bishop, Plath, Milton, Heaney, Yeats, Joyce, my beloved wife, family, friends, and that kind woman who rung me up for three packs of smokes two days ago--to name a bunch. i have joined this site in hopes of honing my fragile attempt toward a craft while helping better poets hone their craft as a vehicle toward learning how to collaborate, more fully, with others...thank you for considering my application to your esteemed site.
