Michael is a poet and software developer born and raised in Rhode Island. He discovered his love and penchant for writing poetry in 2007, with the goal to write a book by the end of that year. It took 16 years, and plenty of growth but he self-published  his first book “Reflections: A Journey Through the Mirror-Maze of Life” in 2023. Through his poetry he hopes to create a space where people feel seen and known, where they can see themselves in new ways, reflect on their own journeys, and grow without judgement.
