"Then there’s the selfie epidemic that there’s no denying—just take a peek at any social media site and the grinning, scowling, eye-crossing selfies are rampant. I have to say that I do a fairly good job of resisting the selfie craze. When I do post photos (I mostly post original poems), they are not the selfies most people take. They are photos of my cat Sophie—sleeping, stretching, or glaring at me when I push her out of my bed—and those photos express me, and my love for Sophie (and poetry). They say a lot about who I am; they’re not just some fleeting, insignificant moment."
