I finally got my act together and posted some new content. I’ve been debating how to post new poetry. I’m not set on the first method I tried since WordPress’s innate “verse” formatting is awkward and causes side to side scrolling. Today, I went with PDFs. They need to be downloaded but then the formatting is set If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments.
The poems are a group of 6 from January to June of 2012. This was a time when I first started therapy–a time when I was trying to break though years of accumulated grief and isolation and darkness. Oddly enough, it was when I met my current therapist. He was an intern then, finishing his clinical hours before he finished his dissertation, earned his PsyD, and went into professional practice.
I found these poems buried in an old Evernote account that I started in 2012 and actually kept using into 2017 sometime. Finding all these old archives of my former life is really opening up my eyes to the trajectory of my history. I would call it a midlife crisis except I think that all my major crises have passed. Now, I am only left to deal with the fallout. To make meaning of the stories I tell and plot new ones for the future.
But lets not forget the poetry–the newest additions are at the top:
