My Voice
Voice. It’s the ethos of a literary work, the dominant theme in a piece of fiction or poetry. Sometimes, it is not always identifiable. It is most certainly not always the writer’s. Creative writing can, however, lend a voice to those who are voiceless. In fact, the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, “voice reminds us that a human being is behind the words of a poem, that he is revealing his individuality by means of the poem, and that this revelation may be the most significant part of what we receive from the poem.”
Voice, it seems, might be one of the most important tools of literary work, aside from the writing itself. It helps to further the mission of literature: to change the world!
My intent is to change the world through by lending a voice to the voiceless souls of the world.
I love comments, starting dialogue, and creating a sense of community, so feel free to say whatever you like and visit again.

Thanks. Remember that whole controlled destruction thing? It’s the same with blog appearances, too. I’m not sure how I feel about this new look, but thanks for the vote of confidence. The about me stuff is pretty old; WP saved it from an older format, so I’ve been working on updating it. Not quite sure what to say about myself. Poetry writing, easy. Talking about myself, not so much.
