Weaving his way through struggle and self-belief(often within the same poem / conversation / thought process)Rhythmical Mike came to poetry the way one comes home. 

What I mean is here is a man writing to connect with something with more pulse than an audience of finger-clicks. What I mean is here is an example of poetry as both survival and sharing that survival. What I mean is amazing how looking in prompts one to then look around &, in Mike's case, continue to write with eyes wide open.

Liam P. Mills is a human of the all-in kind. An observer of a world he refuses to idly tip-toe through, but instead seek to move closer to, through conversation, poetry, people. 

We drop in & out of themes such as the shifting processes of writing, how support from a comforting yet critical eye can influence one's creative development, the relevance of birds in Liam's work & the necessity of pulling joy from the devastation: of a world, relationship, single, brief moment on a page. 

Liam's presence can be found at the following link to Left Lion, where he currently has the position as Literature Editor:
