Introducing: Paul Richmond

Yesterday, I went to read some poems at the Florence Poets Society's annual poetry festival. I was nervous but think it went well. There was this guy listening at the back, and my friend Brett waved to him and said hi and told me that the guy was a juggler.

It turns out he is also a poet. We said hi and traded books of poetry after the festival. I went home and read his book that night and was impressed. What I liked most about his writing was the genuineness and realness. I could tell that there was a unique human mind at work, and I think that's important in art.

He agreed to let me put some poems on here.
