[Animal Riots Activist]

Hi all,

I'm Animal Riots Activist. I'm in my mid 20s, and I'm a physicist by day and I write poetry in the day too sometimes. But mostly at night. Over the past couple of years I've gravitated away from forums, as the lack of having a face/voice/style etc to put to a poem sort of irked me, and I had a community in which I pushed myself and others to write. That community has now faded a bit (as it turns out you can get burnt out from writing poetry), so I'm back in the forum fold. From the critiques I've already done it seems like you all are pretty varied in poetic style, which is great. So I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, and hopefully we all can influence each others work. But not too much. There is an inherent masturbatory nature in poetry, but too much circlejerkery can quickly lead to artistic stagnation.

Best,
Animal Riots

p.s. I like nothing more than to have my poems torn apart. So all you vultures, please have a field day whenever I post.
