Poetry is something I do to try and understand the emotions and voice in the back of my head. It's highly therapeutic for me just now, and as a result my work isn't always nice or happy. Sometimes it's quite brutal. But I feel poetry is a multi-faceted tool that should reflect all aspects of life, both good and bad, so this isn't necessarily a negative thing.

I am still learning, so bear with me. My aim is to try and produce something accessible to everyone, but also meaningful to me. I also want to make my poetry less insular and more outward looking. Hopefully I'm on the right path with at least some of these goals.

Please comment to let me know how I'm getting on.
