I am of Irish decent. Raised around music my entire life. But poetry has called since I was very young. Didn't always understand the depth of the words, but would cry when I would hear it. As I became older my mother started telling me about my great grandfather and my great uncle. My uncle always spoke the kings English. Was quite the philosopher, and carried a book of poetry with him at all times. This book is now in a museum. But this started to help me recognize my desire. Although very new at this. As far as text and layout, I have been writing privately for years. My muse is with me constantly, I imagine it to be my great uncle.
