| I'm a native New Yorker, an introverted extrovert, an opinionated bitch, a militant liberal, and, most importantly, a writer/photographer/general random artist. Writer's Statement (taken from my Scholastic Art and Writing General Writing Portfolio, 2009) I am nothing if not a writer. For over half of my relatively short life, I have been conscious of the fact that words can be shaped into thoughts, emotions, and images. It began when I was eight years old, and found an old, blank pack of looseleaf abandoned in a closet. I immediately began to write. While I admit that those first attempts were not very original, creating my own characters and plots has been a passion for me from that point onward. I learned that writing does not always mean school assignments; I could also write for myself, and when I did that, I could create anything I wanted—all with strings of words. As a lover of language, I pay attention not only to the usual issues of writing, such as themes or plotlines, but also to my diction. Almost every creative piece that I have written has been reworked and edited at least twice, and I typically find myself trying to find a word that would better suit a character or a scene’s mood. I pay particular attention to my stories’ beginnings. I have learned that weak beginnings will often lose a reader, and while it is important to keep his or her attention throughout, a strong start is often the best way to keep a person interested. The other aspect of writing that I focus on most is characters. Much of my writing aims to explore the human condition—namely, our emotions and our relationships to each other. In my short stories, one of my main goals is to explore my characters’ psychological makeup, and how that affects the people around them. Even in my poetry, which I generally consider more autobiographical than my short stories, I attempt to delve into the spectrum of human emotions and human relationships. All of the pieces included in my portfolio have been written carefully, from word choices to characterizations. They form the culmination of over nine years of creative writing, and represent my attempts to understand myself and the people around me. |

Deeper Shadowsi know where you've been hiding, spending days sleeping under rocks and nights hiding your eyes from the stars; you've been burying yourself underneath the things you don't want to hear.Deeper Shadows
and i know what you've been running from: those shadows that follow you even in dreams, sidling out of the corners of your eyes and sneaking in the back doors of your consciousness like squatters who never leave. they warm their hands over the fires of your fears, flames trapped in rusting iron cans; they huddle together, protecting themselves, settling in echoing warehouses

Relapseand i am rushing back into the blue, relapsing into what i told myself i didn't want to be, twisting words into other people's guts like so many fine daggers and, for at least one second, enjoying the ways they bleed.Relapse
i am flowing out and drowning in the ink, i am telling myself that decay is acceptable, i am saying that rotting flesh is not anything to be ashamed of, i am telling myself --
i am saying that i am wrong, i am innards curling in shame, i am letting the words fly out of my mouth like so

Don't Write About ThisHell, it's been done before. Fuck Is the word everyone uses, A song sheet the muses Transcribe through heart and tongue,Don't Write About This
Soul and lung. A canal bursts Like a vein and buries a mother, Two kids in mud. But don't even bother With another poem about hurts,
Another poem, roses, the sun. Love is ubiquitous as stars Strewn across the sky -- yellow cars Frozen on asphalt. It's all overdone.
Write about benthic shells. Forgo The ones that tottle onto shore That anyone can find. Fucking boring How a child loses footprints to show
