Joseph Raines is an aspiring poet, a fledgling novelist, and an enthusiastic—if unpolished—journalist. In short, he is an amateur in every sense of the word. But what he lacks in formal expertise, he more than makes up for with an abundance of strong opinions and an almost alarming amount of free time to put them into writing. Whether it's poetry, prose, or impassioned commentary, Joseph approaches every piece with the unwavering confidence of a man who believes punctuation is merely a suggestion and that the delete key is for cowards.
