Three Poems: i got missing | a disappearance | used to be

Abstract

From the poet's Website: "In life and in stories I love contrasts and unlikely juxtapositions, which perhaps is the result of coming from two distinct cultures. I see artists as translators/interpreters who give us a glimpse at a situation or a person or a feeling in some more accessible medium. They can also offer us an eye into someone else’s world and help dispel stereotypes and misconceptions by tugging at that universal spot, the humanity within us all. Stories are everywhere, from the more obvious places like songs and novels and poems, to the less striking ones, like paintings and bus stops. We all have stories to tell, and what is perhaps more important, we have many, many stories to listen to. I don’t have an agenda as a writer, but I do believe that it is my responsibility to offer an honest and challenging story, one that leaves you thinking, leaves you with questions, and also leaves you hopeful."
