Hello

[busker]

I'm really bad at introductions, but such is the way of things. So, hey, hello, hi, I'm Ember, going by the handle Flotsson. I have an academic background in logic and the English literatures of the Victorian era and of the African diaspora. Despite that, I actually have no particular training or academic interest in poetry. Instead, I write bad poetry in my free time as something of a hobby and the only way to get better is with feedback. Likewise, I hope I can give some good criticism to people hoping to improve their work!

Hi Flotsson, and welcome to the Pen

Please do educate the rest of us on African diaspora literature. Some of the writers like Achebe and Adiche are well known, but not so much the others. There’s more to the site than poetry, as you’ll discover.
