I am a creative writing student in Southeast Alaska who loves to travel. I'm a little shy about sharing my work and I'm hoping to use this blog as a way to get over that. Some of my writing is travel-focused and some is just randomassshit. Happy writing!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Once So Close
This poem was recently published in a Southeast Alaska regional journal called Tidal Echoes. It is my first time being published and one of my first attempts at confessional poetry.
Once So Close
He always
sleeps so sound
hair stuck up
squishyface
shoulder bare
then a slight
twitchy dream
His eyes closed
hidden dreams
stubble-jaw
hand in mine
bare feet hang
body draped
to one side
His leg wrapped
with my own
blanket-twist
eyelash dance
ex-boyfriend
almost wakes
just not quite
He used to
share the bed
now who knows
what he dreams
now that he’s
away from
me

Conceptual Poetics
Conceptual Poem from “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex: But Were Afraid to Ask” Published in 1969
What can a woman do to initiate sexual intercourse?
What are the different forms of frigidity?
What else do homosexuals do?
What part does the uterus play in sexual intercourse?
What is a fetish? To you?
An obsession? Something weird?
What’s the answer? What’s your answer?
Why do people do these kinds of things?
Why don’t prostitutes get pregnant all the time?
Orgasmic Bill of Rights?
Then gonorrhea is not really such a dangerous disease after all?
Then why do some people give up?
Then why do so many women have trouble reaching orgasm?
Why not?
Do American men like the operation as well?
Do their Asian wives agree?
Do the ovaries actually die?
Is absolute impotence very common?
Is pornography good for children?
The blind?
Is there a difference between someone who collects things and a fetishist?
