Words have great power. They fabricate illusions and forge realities. They heal. They kill. They die. And beyond time, they live.

korr is a poet and philosopher who strives to give voice to the voiceless through writing. Working extensively in the health and education sectors, and with a will for experiences, his writing has slowly transformed from a necessary personal catharsis to a full-time endeavor, the core of his identity. He hopes to pull from his academic background of neuroscience and philosophy at Columbia University, his bearing witness and endurance to great suffering and great joy, and living among people striving not to be forgotten to create unique psychological distillates of the human condition. Genres and ideas are unconventionally intersected whether poetry and mathematics, science fiction and horror, or politics and medicine. No state of mind is barred, whether sordidly wretched, divinely beautiful, of absolutely mundane. No feeling is spared, whether love, pity, or hate. May his pieces speak authentically, magnify your daily life and relations, and bring solace to the entire spectrum of human existence.

A note on the merit of observation

Pay attention. Feel. Observe. Paying attention to the world and people around is the foundation to an improved quality of life and an alternative ethical system, one which affirms life through all joy and tragedy. The best way to pay attention is to engage with literature, to write and read poetry, and to feel. May this be the stepping stone to cultivating the neglected skill of observation.
