You ARE an artist....in fact, I made your book Illumination part of my lesson today for National Poetry Month....and shared with my students how you are one of the modern poets that I follow....and challenged them to find a poet to follow in their own social media lives, because poetry is art and is always being created.

What is a writer, but one who writes? The word poetry derives from the Greek for "to create" so you're most certainly a poet if you're creating something new out of words that are just lying in wait to be expressed. And you've published your art in multiple ways for the consumption and appreciation of anyone....and that's a gift of art to the world.

You're no imposter.... you're as authentic as they come and I appreciate you and celebrate what you make.
