i am motivated by the world and the media, things i see, feel, hear, touch, smell--encouarage me to write. without all of these , i am nothing because there would be nothing to write about.

getting a reply from a Canadian Science professor that my poem would appear in his 2012 poetry collection book is something i still cherish up to this day, knowing that the poem is being read by Canadians in libraries such as the city of Toronto,makes me feel liberated.
