Poetry expresses the deepest of feelings and experiences - sometimes the brightest, sometimes the muddiest, sometimes the darkest - always the most personal. Over a lifetime Calvin has written hundreds of poems, most of which are an embarrassment to the art. Others capture feelings too dark or too unhealthy to share (poetry thrives in such states of being). The following is a selection of poems falling into that narrow safety zone between embarrassment and gloom.
