Abstract

For my presentation I have compiled a set of poems that reflects the theme of people experiencing different situations such as having a dream, living through the difficulties of being disabled (whether physically or mentally), confronting an issue such as abortion or an addiction, or going through the journey of life from birth to death. Each of these poems also reflects my developing writing style and techniques. Thus far, my style is not concrete in any way. I like to venture into free-verse as well as mimic other poets' styles and practice formal styles of poems such as a sestina. These poems were also written over the course of two years. Furthermore, what I aspire to give to readers through my work is my passion for the visual aspects, the thirst for rich detail, or a deeper meaning or moral within the pieces. Most of all, I want listeners to enjoy my work and see my hunger for something new to show in my poetry.
