Evil At My Heels – A Collection of Poetry

[Follow Local Scene: Charleston, SCRank: FlurryPoints: 20427]

A few months ago I completed my first collection of poems. I’ve always been a creative writer, but in recent years I got more involved with journalism and growing the Extra Chill brand. However, on the side, I have continued to write poems. Last fall I got encountered some things in my head and started to write a lot more poetry. I kept on with poems about the same subject until the thoughts had run their course, and the result was a cohesive collection of poems, titled Evil At My Heels.

I shared the collection with a few of my friends, but wasn’t sure what else to do with them. Rather than letting them sit on my hard drive, I decided to add them to my personal portfolio site, alongside some nifty custom code that makes it easy to read them one at a time without having to scroll down a long page, or jump around different pages.

The poems are all about getting older and its impact on life. Making the transition from adolescence to adulthood, and dealing with the things that have haunted you for years already.

I think they came out pretty good. I would love feedback of any kind. Hope you enjoy, and thank you for checking them out!

I’m gonna check this out because I love poetry, and it’s great to see another person writing it, let alone putting together a collection. I’ll let you know what I think.

I write too, and I’m pretty much done with my third poetry book. The words are all there, I’m just adding some illustrations.

Anyway, I don’t wanna steal your thunder. Congrats on the collection (people always say congrats when you finish something like that for some reason)!
