ABOUT POETIC ESCAPE'S UPCOMING FEATURED POET - CAMILLE:
Um, if you know her, you'll probably say she's weird and random. (Don't worry, she's not offended.) As far as artists go, those are two welcomed traits.
She wrote her first poem too long ago to remember, and has been filling notebooks ever since. During her years at the nation's first public high school, Boston Latin School, her love for performing was kindled. She was an active participant in one of the school's oldest traditions: Declamation - an oratorical contest. Can she sing? We don't know, but during her junior and senior years, she was co-president of the Wolfettes, the school's first all-female a capella vocal group. It wasn't until about 17 months ago, when performance met poetry, like two destined lovers, or like the apple on Einstein's head. And just like that, she discovered a new passion.
If poetry is life, then performance is living. Love poems, silly poems, stupid poems, funny poems, real poems, poems to make you cry; everything and everyone is a source of inspiration...because everything is poetry.
Aside from sitting around writing poems all day, she studied English and Communications at Boston College (what else!?), and is currently taking just enough classes to ward off her trifling baby-mother, Sallie Mae.
Artistic expression knows no limit, which explains why she is one half of the designing duo, madeMOIselle Boston. They have shown their collections at numerous shows; their latest showing is at Style Week in Providence this June.
Because she never shuts up, she co-hosts the Ask Mr. Wrong Show with Mr. Wrong, himself, Monday nights from 10p-12a on Divefm.com. Nothing is off limits. Nothing.
What she thinks about this miniature biographical write-up: "biographies are a little weird before you're dead. And autobiographies are a little pretentious, don't you think? Which is why I wrote this in the third person."
