Forward Thinking
When I was a teenager, I learned that a lot of people think that poetry is boring, that it lacks what a proper story can get across. Then I started reading poetry and realized the depths it could take you even with simple words and even a lack of words. Then in 2009, I ended up being published in a little book called The Cracks In The Paint. The organization Write Around Portland, which had the book published, has writing workshops for people affected by HIV/AIDS, survivors of domestic violence, seniors in foster care, people in recovery from drug or alcohol addictions, people with physical or mental disabilities, homeless people, low-income families, and many others.
