My poems can make a difference!

Poet Bio: Kenneth West is a writer from Monroe, Louisiana. He graduated with a BA in English from Louisiana Tech University in 2017. He enjoys writing and learning new things. Included among his many vices are reading too many popular history books and eating too much candy, and although he has an insipid personality, he hopes to find readers who take pleasure in his written works. In his writing, West tries to show the dissonance between individuals as they are and how they perceive themselves. Other recurring motifs include animals, desire, the nature of violence, the limits of communication, and the extent to which we are all trapped within our minds and bodies.
