Author’s Note:
Dampness was a difficult collection of poems for me to compile and complete. They took place during a period in my life when I lost two long-time neighborhood friends and felt creatively dead. Writing has always been a source of therapy for me, so instead of using excuses of why I could not write or not find the perfect words, I decided to walk through the mud in order to find some type of stable land in my life, and in my creative universe.
I hope that you, the reader, are able to take something away from these poetic experiences and remember that being in a bad space does not mean that you have to stand still. Move with me in thought and motion to a place where creativity, inspiration, and hope can once again be familiar to all of us.
Peace,
Jasen Sousa
