My Life in Words

Tara has been writing poetry since she was nine years old, and she has been fortunate enough to have multiple poems published.

She writes poems from her perspective, from the perspective of fictional characters, and everything in between. Some of her poems rhyme, some are free verse, but they are all original. She also has a poetry "blog" as well as a poetry page on Instagram where she publishes micropoetry.

In January 2025, Tara completed her first poetry chapbook, Fragments of Farewell, which will be published in Summer 2025.

Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are two of her favorite poets, but she also loves the "mad ones" like Jack Kerouac.

Tara lives and breathes in the pauses between the start and the stop.
