Greetings everyone!

My name is Sarena and I hope you’re all as excited as I am to push through and complete this marathon! It’s my first time participating in The Poetry Marathon or any poetry challenge really. A handful of friends, my lovely boyfriend and I will try and keep each other accountable throughout the full 24 hours of the challenge (along with some yummy snacks).

As for my experience with the poetry scene, I casually write and enjoy this form of expression. I first started writing poetry with the encouragement of my Conflicts’ professor, which soon snowballed into me becoming the host of the on-campus poetry show, Verse Come Verse Serve! My time during college solidified my love for poetry and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Cheers!

Sarena
