About Me
About me
I've been a songwriter for twenty years and just started getting more serious about poetry. I love all the classic poets: Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Walt Whitman, and the like. As well as contemporary poets, like Billy Collins, Mary Oliver, and Seamus Heaney. I'm trying to write often, and love the metaphysical, the quirky, the perfect playful metaphor that's yet to be put down in verse. I want to get better, so I am looking for feedback, as well as encouragement. https://twitter.com/gregwalkerpoet
