Well, where to begin... I'm a 20 year old college student. I live in a small town in New Jersey that I usually refer to as "Podunkville." (We have our rednecks, too, they just prefer to wear high-collared shirts).

I'm a psych major, but I enjoy lit as well, so that is now my minor. (Or it will be, as soon as I process the little paper through the Registrar's Office...)

Some of my favourite authors/poets are: Joyce Carol Oates, J.R.R. Tolkien, Allen Ginsburg, Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, etc.

I have termed myself a "voracious reader," but usually during school, I must restrain myself, due to not having enough time for anything!

In my lifetime, I have written more poetry than anything, but I try to vary it. If some of this stuff seems juvenile, it may well be. I occasionally find things I wrote several years ago, that still have a glimmer of something so that I don't have the heart to throw them aside. =)
