Anxious Writings of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Years: One Hundred English-Styled Sonnets and One Memorial Poem

By The Virgin Poet

Some have said that poetry has died. Im trying to help bring it fresh renewal in the public eye. I used to write more in Spanish when I was charmed by a vigorous Mexican girl who didnt speak English. For a while I would think that contemporary English could not be as romantic, but thats not determined by the essence of the language but by the essence of the poetry representing it. I hope that this poetry book will exhibit the elegance of the English language and that it will revisit the English sonnet form while acknowledging several cultures of the Americas and foreign to the United States, my place of origin. I also hope that it provides an appealing interpretation of some current issues. Fourthly, the variance in cultural influence should exemplify the changing vibrations in this nation. Hispanic culture has especially taken a large role in the recent United States as the Hispanic population has been growing rapidly. The importance of indigenous peoples in giving richness to the history of the West is visited upon as well. Overall, nature is viewed as a wondrous creation.

The Virgin Poet

I’ve been writing since grade school. At church, I was known for writing my own Easter speeches. At home, I was known for my interests in visual arts and for writing short fan fictions about my favorite cartoon. I was into writing short stories packed with action and adventure until about eighth grade when I wrote a poem in my English class for my mom for Mother’s Day. I put lots of dedication into forming it, and since then and since I had developed a crush that year on a long and curly-haired mixed Black American, Light Mexican girl (a description acknowledging that “Mexican” is a nationality, not an ethnicity), my focus has been away from prose. Poetry has been my way of expressing in a spontaneous manner ideas that have been thoroughly contemplated. Through poetry, I am able to pass the necessary moments away from society and in individualism to later reintroduce to society filled with artistic airs (whenever I’m making descriptions) what I have taken from society. Other times, I use poetry to dress my personal or adopted thoughts with aesthetic vigor, so that they can be seen in a way more appealing. My nineteenth birthday is in August, so what is written in this book is shaped by a young perception. Maybe someone will not appreciate my eager poems for romance, but they are driven by realistic energies that flow within my veins. Not addressing the desire-ravished conscience and the frenesi (“frenzy” in Spanish) of one’s search for companionship would be ignoring another view of an entire branch of life that is utilized in maturity to bear fruit and create more life. By the way, I’ve taken almost six years of Spanish. Many of these English-styled sonnets were composed while I sat in the university library, and I tried to meet people there as well, so academics are a big topic in my work. The greatest recurring theme would be Nature. Even when not forwardly addressing Nature, I reference it. This earth is a fantastic place. Even the smallest creatures, even bacteria, have life, a thing not found anywhere else in the entire universe. Insects that we attempt to eradicate are fighting to thrive and pass life onto another time. Life is the source of the concept of energy. Look at other galaxies and other suns. They shine as our sun does, but there is nothing to use that energy and give meaning to it because there is no life that the light shines upon. Energy without life is vain and worthless. But here on earth, every ray of sunlight has purpose because life is here and energy can be acknowledged as a vital concept. That is enough about me in paragraph format. I hope that you enjoy the work, and maybe it will equip you with an added perception for viewing the world.
