an introduction by Stephanie Squicciarini
I believe through poetry I can express my deepest feelings, fears, and dreams. To me each poem is like a short story, telling tales that are in and beneath words. Like other young poets, I am not a master or a pupil; I am both. I teach and learn. My only inspiration is my imagination. Poems can be your anger, happiness, stress, hope, or your dreams. If I couldn’t write I would be like a wild bird locked away in a cage. As a once famous sailor, Popeye, said, "I am what I am, and that’s all that I am."—Elizabeth Celata, Grade 6, Martha Brown Middle School, Fairport, New York
