Small town poetry

About Small town poetry

Hello. My name is Zack Ripley. I am a poet and author from a small town outside of Rochester, NY. I use my poetry as an opportunity to connect to people with words on a level I never could in my day to day life. I consider them exercises in empathy and, thanks to the power of the internet, I have helped people be seen, heard, and inspired all over the world via poetry communities. Any feedback is welcome. Links to my books can be found below
