Thalia Sablon

Born in Haiti and raised in Queens, New York, I have my mother’s tongue and a New York accent. I began writing poetry in high school after I joined the poetry club. Poetry allows me to express emotions in an honest and vulnerable way, combining images and thoughts about how the world around me is moving. Poetry is my favorite method of introspection. I let myself explore the full depths of my emotions and the many different associations that my mind makes.
