My interest in poetry is very strange. In 2007 I started to suffer from tinnitus, but I had never heard of it back then. Since then I have not been able to stop reading and writing poetry. Is there a connection? I don’t know. My tinnitus is still a big discomfort to me, and poetry writing is the best distraction for me. For a few hours each day it helps me forget about the tinnitus. Do please read some of my poetry.
