I'm Mallory Jo. I'm a Bay Area poet, library associate, grad student and new mom. I'm easily overwhelmed by information and will probably spend the rest of my life trying to find the right place for and connections between all sorts of tangible and intangible things. Thanks for following.

When did I stop writing epiphany

I stopped writing when I had panic attacks

I stopped writing when I met my boyfriend

I stopped writing when I graduated from college

I stopped writing when I had a baby.

I had so many excuses for not writing-

I don’t have time to write anymore I don’t even have time to read Writing creatively is such an egotistical thing Who cares what I have to say

And then I lost my train of thoughts

Other people’s thoughts become my thoughts

I feel disconnected

I cannot articulate what I mean anymore

My conversations are now dry

I rarely have stimulating conversations

and so writing is essential to my health. It may not be essential to anyone else’s.
