Hello. I'm Jonah the Poet. I write poetry liked by people who don't think they like poetry. Sometimes fun and playful, romantic and sweet; other times heavier and thought-provoking.
During my high school years, I tried to find poetry to connect with, but everything I read was either too weird, too stuffy, or too irreverent. I tried to write lyrical poetry, but I never felt the poems turned out right, so I shelved the poetry.
Time passed and the adoption of "smart" devices and social media became widespread. In the early 2020s, I realized the technology that promised connection with those we love and regard actually threatened healthy relationships.
Frustrated, I wrote a poem titled, "D-vices", in 2026. It landed with everyone who read it, but I figured it would be my only poem. A few weeks passed and something "flipped." I've now written over 60 poems, with more on the way before the year concludes.
In a world saturated with AI slop, I see a need for real people writing real things. My first book, North of Normal, releases in 2027.
