On this platform I plan to share the creative process & influences of my 2nd poetry collection, which I’m happy to say is starting to form. I’ll be drawing a lot from my dad’s youth in an effort to understand him. Here are some photos from his late teens & early 20s in Thessaloniki, America, Korea 🎞️
