"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I love your works, and I always have. I think what makes your writing so good, and so thoughtful, was that you weren’t even planning on having it published, so you included true feelings that other authors and poets would have left out. My favorite poem that you wrote is this poem: Hope is the thing with feathers…It asked a crumb of me. I love this poem because it describes hope so well. Whenever I try to describe it, I can’t put it into words, and this poem is just perfect. I think that it is saying, hope stays with you, no matter what happens, even if things get rough, and you never know what will happen, you always have hope. But hope is also not such a good thing, every time you have a hope about something, it hurts too. It especially hurts when your hope doesn’t come true. How did you write poems that were straight from your heart? And did it hurt you to write your feelings out on paper? Another thing I know about you, is that you loved writing letters. I have read all of your works about three times, and I think that you truly are an incredible natural writer. You practiced writing a lot, and I can’t imagine trying to find time to practice writing. I bet that you knew in the back of your mind that you were very talented, but you just needed to be more confident and believe in how amazing you truly were. I guess this teaches me to have more confidence when I am writing.
