About

Patrick Carlson

Born in Colorado Springs but raised to call the Pacific Northwest home. Patrick comes from a blended family with his dad having been born in Germany and his mom in South Korea. He found that his early experience with poetry was up and down. However, over time it grew into something more reliable and stable rather than only being a way to process pain. Patrick prefers that the experience of writing poetry to be meaningfully balanced but pointed and tinged with wit.
