I am a shy daydreamer, wanderer of the moors, reader by candlelight, nostalgic soul, rabbit-hearted with pale hands, rosy cheeks, and teary eyes. Lover of classic literature, fairy tales, old folk stories, abandoned ruins, secret gardens, rainy nights, and lost treasures.

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

Der Sommer ist warm aber die herzloseste Jahreszeit. Er verließ mich wissentlich in dieser eisigen Kälte. In der nun alle meine Träume gefrieren und die Hoffnung im Nebel erstickt.
