I am a confessional poet. My writing seeks to depict the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in the human heart, bringing humanity in touch with the depth of their emotion.
I am inspired most by the Eastern European poets, such as Nina Cassian, Nichita Stanescu, Anna Akhmatova, Olga Berggolts, Bella Akhmadulina, Natalya Gorbanevskaya, Yevgeny Yevteshenko and Marina Tsvetaeva.
