Erratic Expressions

Take a poetic odyssey through expression, trauma, desire, and self-discovery. Erratic Expressions is a contemplation of how creativity and the arts can be used as a medium for self-expression, connection, and eventual self-actualization. In this poetic tour de force, the author begins with an explicit invitation to actively engage with his contemplations and, by extension, the author himself. Through the journey, the poems take a turn to a near hopeless acceptance that things may never change. Yet, despite all the fear, trauma, and self-hatred, the work coalesces into a cathartic resolution of healing and an authentic revelation of self, during which the author writes directly to the audience, his own mind, and various muses and personifications of his desire and demons, all the while confronting the dichotomy of wanting to directly connect with people but being unable to do so without the veil of poetry.
