resurrection preface


my 22nd poetry album is called “resurrection.” before writing this album, i had told people on my social media that i was “quitting” poetry. initially, i had just meant it as a troll because, when i posted my last poem “now it sucks,” i had thought just minutes before posting “hey, what if i told everyone i was quitting?” what started as a harmless troll actually gave me the concept for the album: i didn’t expect that people would be as upset about me leaving as they were, and even if i was just trolling and never actually planned on quitting, telling people that honestly gave me some perspective and helped me realize some things. thanks for that, guys. (oh, and i decided to buck the trend of releasing this at midnight so that i could put it out on world poetry day of march 21st. happy world poetry day!):
