The Paper-House

Stephanie Bryant Anderson is the most extreme of confessional poets. She is eager to lay her emotion down upon the skin, no matter how many punches she has taken. She does not back away from the ugliness of any emotion, but rather, embraces that, to later mold it into something beautiful. Her poetry explores life without meekness, modesty, or discretion. Stephanie hopes to harness and translate her perspective through beautiful and devastating proportion. Through careful self-reflection, her experiences find themselves deluged with a candor and eloquence that one would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
