more of a hack with little literary training beyond growing up a fan of hiphop since its onset and some occasional mentoring from a great friend, mentor and once new york times fellow for poetry “Gregory Pardlo”. Although I often have some form of cryptic direction/message, what i write is geared for the spoken word. the sonority and cadence are of greater importance to me. i have seen some improvement in staying on message when i go minimal.
outside of writing, i dj, make music and always aim to live a life of risk and random madness oft worthy of a tale to be scripted.

at the helm merchantville a straight shot up cuthbert over cooper's empty fishing holes of dead industry. a murky graveyard for instruments of crime likely swept hastily under a poisoned mud. beneath the bridge where the streetwise carp never bit. a fitting river for olympic rowing trials a jersey cynic quipped dryly while in the rearview on more than one drunken drive home alone. an early suburban vision recognition of a kind of fantastic view. substantially blinding amidst the majority who...

Poetry / certainty
Great use of a classic form. When reading, I felt as though I was thrown back well into the past. Have you thought about expanding on this?
I liked how this took a new avenue to the empowerment type of poem. Risky in the sense that many will shun such work unless in a similar position but I think this kind of stuff is great to put out there because you never know who might need such words at any given time.
Lyrics / UNDER YOUR FEET
Enjoyed the lyrical flow of this but I'm not sure I'm getting the personal connotations referenced unless this is along the lines of an individual stuck in a bad relationship of codependency where they are left a rung below there other. I suggest a more in depth description of how this individual has found themselves as the carpet beneath.
Not sure if you'll find this remark positive or not; these words read and feel similar to how I write so I suppose I'm biased in saying I enjoyed this. The first verse and its flow stood out to me. Overall I can relate to being caught up in the novelties of the day while other thoughts, ideals, etc. dwell buzzing about one's brain.
