As we pass through one another's lives online – with our words, our images, our carefully crafted self portraits of ourselves – it is easy to feel that even as our followers increase, the number of people who truly know us radically decreases.

​

In this series, I attempt to delve deeper into those brief glimpses at the lives of strangers, inspired only by their online communications: their websites, social media accounts, and connections they make with me, however briefly.

By taking on this role of researcher, interpreter, biographer, I hope to be able to say to these people I meet, “Now we're not strangers anymore.”

Tweet an evocative phrase to me @IfItFeelsWrite and you could very well become the subject of my next poem!
