Summary
Miguel Balfour has been writing poetry since high school. What started out as two poems in the 12th Grade led to two volumes of hand-written song lyrics in two hardcover exercise notebooks. The initial thought was to possibly be a songwriter as one of my future endeavors. But alas! There was College, then Medical School, then Residency, then “real world” work, and as such the writing, which had continued over the years, never materialized to becoming actual songs. I had put the books away and only recently found the two volumes.
Impressively, some of these were deemed “ok” to the author, and of course, some not so much so, in his mind. Then the idea of converting some into poetry dawned.
The tomes reflect aspects of the author’s perspective. He explores different themes, from love, to heartbreak, to disappointments, fears, to exploring his favorite poetry forms among other themes. He is vulnerable, raw, and this is exactly what he wishes to convey to his readers in the few poems he has selected from his “catalogue” that he has been building over the years, for his first volume of Poetry.
