I have experienced healing through other writers' poetry, but there's no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I'll write a bad poem.
“I'm a little more extreme than a homebody. Unless there's some event I really have to go to, I don't like to leave my house.”
“My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.”
