Eyes to the Stars

One of the main reasons I'm here is to seek creative input from people who see value in my work. 
The inspiration for my writing comes largely from the things and people that I love most. Philosophy, science, nature, music, art, beauty, travel--all are key in my writing, if only in an underlying layer. I like to create pieces that are something that most people can relate to or appreciate in some way, but which are really about something very personal that I don't imagine many (if any) readers will pick up on. My $50+/poem patrons have access to detailed insights on each piece, however, upon request. 
In addition to writing, I also teach dance, tutor, research (astronomy), and model. I want to devote more time to writing, but of course need to be able to support myself while doing so--so here I am! :) Videos forthcoming.
