The Sting Between The Sheets

This week, I announced that my new poetry book, Stingrays, will be released early next year. Stingrays is close to 90% completed, so I am excited to share this new collection of poetry with you. My first novel,Fortune Cookie, took a year to write; but poetry is a different beast. Fiction follows a certain rhythm of defining the plot, developing characters and creating mental imagery. However, I prefer not to force myself to write poetry. I can push myself to write about certain topics in poetry, but I prefer to keep it organic.

Stingrays has taken me a year and a half to write. There were certain things I had to live through to be able to write about. There were also certain things I had to witness repeatedly before I became fed up with enough to write about. Poetry is comprised of emotions and intimate thoughts. My poetry always speaks from my point of view so even if the story doesn’t belong to me I can relate to it.
