Samantha Exstance-a creative journey in style.

Samantha Exstance is an amazing writer. She's also very nice, which is a great added bonus.

We sat down and looked over a few of her pieces, which were arranged so carefully.

Some of her poems were purely stream of consciousness. Others were meticulosly arranged, almost like a word puzzle. You could read them in a variety of ways, all which changed the meaning of the poetry.

It was nice to sit down and talk to her, and I heard most of her story, starting with creating an anthology of all of her poetry when she was around 5 years old.

I find it odd how poetry changes once you meet the person who wrote it. Now you have a face, and a voice, that reads the poetry as you do. I identify her works now with the short blonde hair and glasses.

I haven't yet decided if I think this is a good thing, a bad thing, or neither.
