a milestone in my life as a writer : my first poetry collection ! earlier this week i reached a milestone in my life as a writer, i published my first poetry collection !
i can't recall precisely when or why i started to write poetry. what i remember though is a demanding period in my life during which i would publish demos of my compositions in various social networks on a regular basis. usually, i would share them in blog posts using embedded players, and add a short presentation.
in the case of songs, i would also include the lyrics. for instrumentals, it seemed appropriate to write at least a few stanzas, typically inspired by the underlying theme of the compositions, or sometimes by their titles only. eventually i also published poems on their own, without music, whether inspired by the circumstances i was in, or to illustrate specific ideas, or in an attempt to convey specific messages, or to share wisdom gathered along the way, or to leave footprints behind.
the process i was involved in at the time led to a flash of understanding that still resonates in me to this day. that epiphany yielded a particular piece, to which i gave the title "understanding."
the poems gathered here, the milestones of that journey, are presented in their original chronological order of publication and their original form.
my hope is that my journey to understanding will shed at least a little light on yours.
