*taps microphone* hello? is this thing on?
ah, why hello! it’s so great to see you! it’s been so long since we last talked, and it’s been almost a year since i last dropped a poetry project. life’s been so busy, and i’ve had other priorities, so poetry has been on the back burner for me. nevertheless, i finally have a new project for all of you, and it’s my milestone 10th mini-album, “the longest winter.” originally, this started life as my 36th full-length album, “a walking contradiction,” and i'd hoped to release it late last year. however, as i was reaching the finish line for that record, it wasn’t coming together as i had hoped. still, i was proud of the individual poems i had completed for the record, so i scrapped what wasn’t working and re-worked the completed poems around a new theme. i’ve alluded to this but 2025 was the worst year of my life, and the winter felt like quite a rut for me. thankfully, i feel like i’ve made it out on the other end in a much better mindset, and i’m happy that i can now release these poems with a feeling of pride for the way i’ve grown since writing them. and i hope you all enjoy them, too. i know poetry may not be as much of a priority for me now as it has been, but i appreciate all of you who continue to listen as i tell the tale:
1. nothing
2. old friends
3. lone wolf
4. someone loves me
5. the new piano man
6. man of the year (bonus track)
