Poetry About Myself

Poetry about myself turns inward without apology. These poems move through self-portrait, memory, doubt, body, name, mistakes, pride, and the hard-won clarity of saying who you are.

Writing about the self is not always vanity. It can be witness, repair, discovery, and the beginning of a more honest voice.
