This is poetry alive and human and truly breathing. And adapting to survive our 21st ADD, show me, give me more, century.
Under the layers of my journalist ambition, lies a 12 year old poet, waiting to be set free. If you look carefully, you'll see she makes an appearance every now and then in a television voice-over that sounds more like prose than the news, or in a quiet metaphor set between a loud opinion piece, whispering, "let me out." Tanya Davis: that stringy-haired, spunky nerd of an adolescent would like to thank you. And so would her carefully coiffed, cropped hair, sometimes subdued spunky, nerd of a successor.
