The Basics
What’s your name? Emmalee!
Where do you live? Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
What do you do for a living? Writing poetry obviously… Just kidding! I write for the feels. I am a mental health therapist and I specialize in trauma and working with neurodivergent and queer folks. <3
What You Really Want to Know
What’re your sun and moon signs? Cancer and Sagittarius
What’s your enneagram number? I’m a 4, the individualist (typical poet)
What do you do for fun? I love to read, particularly octogenarian and 19th century murder mysteries. I take care of a small flock of very spoiled hens. And I do a lot of word puzzles.
Why I’m Here
I started this Substack because I want to share my writing with others and read what others are writing. Although I have been writing poetry since I was a wee 12 year old penning anguished verses in a leather-bound journal, I have very seldom shared my writing with the world. Consider this me opening the book and trusting my words with you.
