Eric Mauro took her photo and shows one of her poems:

The definition of what is or is not "poetry" has eluded us for thousands of years.
How about we compromise - yes it's poetry, it's just not very good.
I'd argue this is closer to performance art than pure poetry.

Both are gibberish.
Bukowski is the one I really take issue with. A massive drunk scribbles on paper. He only gets promoted because of his degenerate lifestyle.

you must be fun at parties.
Perchance you are a poet yourself? Tend to share one of your poems with the group?

of a dozen names of women of my acquaintance, with some superficial personal detail of each (hair color, eye color, favorite hobby, cat's name), would this poet compose a poem for each woman, phrased as if from my perspective?
Handwritten poems... My social calendar is about to be packed.

"...the glow will leak out.This is the color of memory." I like the various uses of amber. This is a poem of light and memory, of vision and mind.
Saw the young lady in front of JP Licks last week. This is a sweet gift to people walking around the area. Thank you Ms. Nethercott.
