Aww poets,

Awesome link to January Monster. I really enjoyed ZACHARY SCHOMBURG'S work and cant wait to hear him tonight.

His powerful singular lines like
"If you miss this, don't expect another chance. You want this." and "You think it will bite your face off". Show fearlessness and passion. Always good to see that.
