Welcome to my little corner on Wattpad! My name is Anna Joy, and I am an undergraduate student studying psychology and an avid reader/writer of poetry since I was in middle school. My poetry influence and style has evolved significantly over time, channeling mostly Emily Dickinson (one of my favorites!) and the writings of mystics from different world religions. Currently I am working on creating a tighter, more minimalist style to make every image pack a punch rather than to overwhelm the reader in verbosity; as a lover of words, easier said than done!
This is mostly an archive of my older works, or fiction/poetry that I am quite proud of but do not wish to publish. I do not post as frequently as I used to due to college life taking up my responsibilities, but please feel free to check out my individual poems, short stories, and poetry chapbooks. Happy reading!

ALSO ALSO ALSO I am keeping all of my chapbooks, even the ones with more amateur poetry, because I've discovered that they are the best way to keep all my passing and more developed "thought babies"...View all Conversations
