'My poems are an expression of certain times and things in my life - some are dated, most aren’t - generally. The Vernacularism of a Capricorn Poetess was written during 2013. Most of the poems were written in response to events or personality traits and quirks my personality is oddly made up of. Some of the poems are gross (sorry about that) and crude. Most are short in this collection - just happened that way. I guess I didn’t have much to say this time round... an all-time first.' (Publication summary)
