Pungent Tangerines:

It is my great honor to introduce to you my debut poetry collection from poems I created between the ages of 13 and 16. While it is quite self-indulgent and naive about the complexity of relationships, I wanted to publish these poems to let go of that era in my life and become more realistic about the power of love. These stories are about a relationship that technically didn’t ever occur as the intentions of the other person were, let’s just say manipulative. However, I am grateful for the experience as it taught me so much about myself and how I act when I feel as though I am in love. I have yet to be in love or actually have that feeling again since this situation occurred.
