Poetry is the perception of one's experiences from different angles, akin to photography, but with words. So, I approached this as a unique challenge for myself. I tried to look at topics from various angles, trying out different forms and metrics along the way. Some things came from my previously written "ideas" pad but did not have form, focus, or body; some were experiments along the way. Now, my slants, apologies for the sadness, are out in the world to create their very own angles of perception for better or for worse.
