I remember first being introduced to Frost and his poetry in middle school and revisiting in high school. In reading his famous “The Road Not Taken” and “Fire and Ice” at a young age, I learned so much about my life and where I foresaw it going.
With everything going on with politics these days and as it continues to unfold, I found Frost’s poem “House Fear” to be quite fitting for many, myself included. With fear in the title, the poem investigates the topic while offering hope in overcoming it.
(he/him) Writing has always been cathartic and therapeutic for Maxwell. He enjoys spreading his creativity through a multitude of mediums like poetry, art, and photography. Maxwell earned his bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He served as a poetry editor and managing editor for the college’s literary arts journal, The Sagebrush Review. Maxwell moved to Seattle, Washington at the beginning of March of 2024 with his boyfriend. When he is not reading or writing, Maxwell enjoys watching Friends, listening to Oh Wonder, or hunting for Funko Pops. He hopes to unearth the hidden gems that lie within our vast city.
