As promised, Cameron Conaway has posted some of my poems on his site at The Examiner. I didn't know which he would pick, as I think I sent him 5 or 6 and he selected. There are three posted. I guess it's more of a feature than a review, but that doesn't matter, it's still awesome.
Here's the link! Go read and enjoy.

He said he was a professional poetry reviewer and writer for The Examiner, among his other involvements in teaching English and Shakespeare at Ottawa University and English Composition on the Everest websites.

So, youtube. Yeah.
I've had my new laptop for about a month now and creating some videos is on my To Do list, now I've got a decent webcam. I hope to be able to read some of my poetry and hopefully post links here, somewhere/somehow I'll post the links in the poem's descriptions when I get them done. If that doesn't work out, check out my channel for all the videos.
I've been delaying on this for a few reasons... my busy life, my jobs, my apathy and my anxiety over other things I can't control, all are keeping me from posting. Also, I hate my voice. Many people have told me it's sexy and I just can't seem to agree. Plus, you know, it's video, so then you'
