Um and so I I yeah, I began waking up in the middle of the night writing my first poems.
Uh I remember going to Susan was my counselor, going to Susan with a stack of these poorly written poems and saying, I think I'm a poet.
She said, I think you're right.
And
I remember her playing for me, uh, Alan Ginsburg's Howl online.
And I've been a fan of the beats ever since.
Um, and then she found a flyer and helped me to find my first open mic.
And while I was a college student, I was able to just connect with an amazing community of artists uh here in central New Jersey and sort of throughout the tri state area.
Um, and that was mate that was amazing.
You know, it was amazing to be

Uh and then it was, you know, I was also a college student.

And um and so all of that came out in the art.
You know, it all it all came out in my poetry.
Now I was when I was very, very young, I was a visual artist.
So I could draw.
