I understand what I have to do and fully support the change. It will definitely push me out of my comfort zone but I feel I’m ready to embrace it. I look forward to honest critiques of my work.

Most of my poetry has been extremely personal and thus highly therapeutic for me. This is often the case with poetry, and can leave us feeling a bit vulnerable. I trust that all of us here understand that and realize critiques will focus on structure, grammar, word choice, and craft. They are in no way judging content or even intention.

Building community requires honesty and vulnerability.
