About me
Thirteen-year-old Lina Norris-Raman is an 8th grader at Edna Brewer Middle School. Lina has been writing since she was 7 years old. Poetry is her refuge from the universe. At times, she feels like poetry isn't just something she does, but something she’s made of. It shapes how she thinks, how she feels, how she exists in the world. Lina has published her own book of poetry and essays and was published in an anthology for young writers by the Intuitive Writing Project. Sometimes she wishes everyone spoke in poetry—because maybe then we'd understand each other more honestly.
