Poetry and polaroid photo books documenting the letters I have sent to loved ones

About
In a practice of vulnerability, I write poems to the people in my life, take a Polaroid photograph that corresponds with what I’ve written, and send them in the mail. I will be making hardcover photo books containing scans of all of these letters
Impact
I aim to remind people that there is so much beauty in these older, “dying” art forms. In a world that only values progressing technological advances, something as simple as sending a letter can be revolutionary
Progress
I have currently written, photographed, and sent ten letters in the last month and aim to complete the book at fifty
Team
I am a poet, and have done many readings and have read on multiple radio shows. Despite these letters being personalized, I believe that my writing has the ability to touch a wider audience
