My motivation for writing this piece stemmed from a multitude of experiences.

How long have you been writing poetry?

I have been writing poetry ever since I was five.

If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would that be?

I would have dinner with Kurt Cobain.

What influenced you to submit to have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

My influence to submit my poetry to get it performed by a professional actor was due to the fact that none of my published poems have been read by someone outside of myself.

Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

Unfortunately, I don’t write short-stories. But, I do write songs…
