I'm not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language though so I am always aware of every word's meaning or multiple meanings.
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
I still cook at home. A lot of chefs I think don't cook at home. But I still do I love cooking at home I love having friends.
