'Authentic voice in a poem comes from the lived inhabitance it emanates. It is anchored in the gut and is willing to address the messy complexities of human emotion. Love that isn’t perfect, written into imperfect poems, makes every individual feel that they are worthy of love, that the love they experience is real, acceptable in all its flaws, and exists even in circumstances where it’s least expected. The world is messed up, people are messed up, but love is still there, in our imperfect lives, in memories, in wounds.'
