When I tell people I write poetry they ask me why and say that no one reads it anymore. I don’t believe that. Poetry’s been written for as long as men and women stood up and started talking. Poetry’s not going anywhere. Poetry illuminates the human condition like no other art form can.
So if people aren’t reading poetry, I put that on the poets – not the readers. Put the right words in front of people, they’ll read them. That’s why my poems are about coffee, cats, being married, and poetry. I also write about the people in my life: Ash, who serves me a beer at the bar down the street; Oralia who works at the Mercado where I shop; Brian and Merk at the THC Dispensary. So yes, I see the poetry in everyday people. You won’t have to wonder what I’m writing about, then, when you read these poems. Like me, they’re fairly simple.
