Everybody needs a poem! In addition to their portfolio of narrative and fiction, Socks also enjoys exploring form and abstraction through poetry. They frequently perform their poetry live, and often pen poems to fundraise for a variety of causes. As a member of the WeHo Pride Poets cohort, Socks can occasionally be found around Los Angeles with a typewriter writing poems for strangers. They are ALWAYS open for poetry commissions!

Their love for words extends to the art of lyrics — more than once, Socks has teamed up with a screenwriter or composer to help them find the perfect words for their musical project! Their specialty is musical theater style lyrics.

Want rhymes? Please contact Socks with information about your commission/creative opportunity!
