WHY did I delete my old blog? Those were classic.
This is funny cuz I was just talkin’ to a friend about poetry/I’m trying to write a poem for this contest and like I CANNOT I can only write lyrical prose and pass it off as “free verse.” Where did that leaf-writin’ version of me go??
But when I say “dabbled” I mean like, working at my state’s arts commission for two years, running a lit+arts magazine at my college, putting together this illustrated anthology since 2013 which involved working with artists (jesus fuck I’m slow at this), and general bullshit arts & humanities classes for the past four years where we’d always ask “What iiiis art anyway?” And I got into a lot of fights with classmates cuz I’d be against “art for art’s sake” all the time cuz I think it contributes nothing to humanity.
