These the Times of Transformation

The pieces in this work were written at various times and in various locations throughout the progress and journey that have consumed the last six years of my life. They start in 10th grade, in the driveway of my first home in Pennsylvania at 2 a.m. The works follow me to my mother's house in Montrose, then across the country to Olympia, Washington. Some may have been written on the very flight that carried me there. They end just yesterday, in Redmond, OR, when I went for a walk and wrote the few pieces that would put this project over 100 individual poems. I share this work with you in the hopes that you may find some of yourself within, or that it may help you feel less like a one in 7 billion and more like a One.
