Confessional Sea Poetry

Confessional sea poetry drawing personal experience—feelings, fears, loves, and struggles. We can only know life through our own lens. Like artists, dancers, poets, and musicians, we express from the I, experiencing life's waves as they crash upon us, sometimes lifting us, sometimes overwhelming us.

• Poems of personal truth and raw emotional experience
