What struck me here is how you frame poetry not as intention but as accident - almost like it finds you before you find it. The mix of therapy, cringe, laughter, and prophecy makes it feel alive, not polished into distance but beating close to the chest. And I think that’s what makes it reach those who never thought they’d read poetry - it doesn’t ask for reverence, it just insists on honesty. Brave work, Quinn.
My writing is always memoir first, poetry second. In fact, I don’t like being boxed into any specific genre just for the sake of marketing or audience segmentation or publishing logistics. That’s not my job. I write from my lived experience, my truth and it contains multitudes just like the person I am. That’s the only thing I care about in my art.
Love it:)

This means a lot to me. Thank you for understanding my work with such clarity!
I liked this. It's masterpiece ✨.
This is stunning, Quinn.
Not just for the language (which flows with grace and grit), but for the intention behind it.
The way you speak directly to those who’ve armored themselves in logic and strategy, offering poetry as both mirror and medicine is powerful :)
“Grace and grit”, “mirror and medicine” — thank you for using such beautiful words to describe my writing. That really means a lot to me!
This is written so beautifully<33
