firestarters: a compilation

sometimes you write to write. sometimes you write because your soul screams, your body aches, your mind casts fire to your lungs-- and you must write. this was one of those times. because there is something so sweet about writing. something calming. serenity becomes overwhelming. when it is two in the morning and you have nothing but yourself, it is what gets you through the night without allowing the ghosts in your head to take over. that is why i write. that is what i write. for, these are my words, my fortress, my digitalized empire. these are my thoughts, my desires, my castle. these are times for you, for me, and for healing. these are my words. my hope is for them to become yours, too.

"firestarters" is Noah Roselli's first published book of original poetry. It consists of years worth of poems that at times intertwine with and connect to an invisible thread that brings them towards one another in a coherent collection. Both haunting and uplifting, "firestarters" is a personal meander through lost and found love, past and future love, all while weaving man's constant awe and wonder with the stars and his own inner space, and how the two are mostly the same. Noah has been playing piano for over ten years, studying mostly classical works, and has recently begun composing his own original scores. His education is headed for engineering with a concentration in physics/astrophysics and creative writing.
