About the author

Hey, I love writing and exploring stories I have created in my head. Poetry started this journey of creating stories in various genres. The dreams and things I’ve seen are what inspire me to create worlds you probably haven’t even thought could be possible. But as I write this writing wasn’t my first love. Until I was 16/17, I wrote my first poem while playing video games. I was rhyming in my head and thought that should be written down and after that I got hooked. At first with stories, I wanted to make tv shows, movies. I wrote my first script and let my dad read it but became heartbroken by what my father said. After his truth bomb, he said I should write a book. Even though the whole situation discouraged me, I still felt the urge to write my stories, and I listened to what he said. As I wrote stories that haven’t seen the light of day yet, I didn’t feel confident in my writing skills since I thought only smart people wrote books. So, to see how authors wrote books, I read a book called The Hunger Games. Reading that book gave me all the confidence in the world to go forward and hopefully write something as captivating as that book. If you take this journey with me, I hope you enjoy what I’ve written but also if you are an inspiring author the confidence as well to write your own story.

When I first picked out this book, I hadn't quite expected it to be one poem. The poem itself was fine and harmless (definitely worth reading as its currently free on Amazon) but there are some grammar errors I don't think enhance the piece, particularly in the line "Her heart rejuvenate." There are other lines that make me question the narrative, such as "And mascara streaking down to her tum," but for the most part the poem is an alright read. It'd be interesting to see what an anthology from Martinez would look like, as it's truly impossible to judge a poet off of merely one poem.
