“Just wanted to say that I thought your performance was amazing and that later that night we had a reflection session with the students and they were really touched by your words. Some students shared that they were inspired to give back to the community and some have even started putting words on paper. So I guess I just really wanted to say thanks for inspiring them! I wish you the best in all your endeavors.”

“Your poem ”Hooked” could mean so many things, but what it meant to me was something completely unique. Knowing that some things are going to be difficult and painful to achieve, those are ideas that a college student can understand. Being taken advantage of and allowing your self to love someone, those are definitely subjects a college student can understand. Your poetry is beautiful, what you are doing for your community is amazing, and your talents appear to be endless. I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about your performance over and over again and no words can describe how I felt and how I was moved”

“I just finished your book a couple of days ago. I loved it. This is the sort of ”confessional poetry (if you can call it that) that is exactly the kind of stuff I look for and strive to write myself. The poem that the book is titled after was especially huge to me because the story you tell is so close to my own experience the last few months.”

“Not only are you beautiful, but your words are exquisite. Thank you for being your honest, naked self for a somewhat anonymous audience. It was an incredibly brave thing to do and you are an absolute inspiration! Muchisimas gracias, poeta.”
