    Sarah Sparks

    I am a Creative Writing and English Major who loves to write. I like to write outside of the boxes with genre such as Humorous Fantasy, Realistic Sci-Fi, and Romantic Anything-but-Nonfiction. There are currently about sixty book ideas in my "To Write" queue and I'm working on about six of them! So keep an eye out for new uploads! Also, I'm so excited to be a part of the literary world, at long last, even though my "first book" is poetry. I am not a poet, by any means. I write all things fiction. It just so happens that my schooling forced poetry out of me for "quick assignments" and I happened to be good at it. Anyway, email me about anything (seriously, anything) at sarah.sparklighter@gmail.com! Free hugs to any fans!

      Introduction

      First, I would like to say that I do not wish to be known as a poet. I am not a poet—I write fiction of all sorts—I just have old poetry from high school that needs a place besides my floor and my filing cabinet.

      The second part of this book, Otaku Poetry, is a collection of poetry, which are tributes to my favorite anime (Japanese animation). Otaku literally means one who stays home, but it refers to people who are obsessed with whatever they like. It is usually used in America to call someone anime-obsessed. The poems therein are completely different from the Seldom Sleep poems, though they may still have a strange twinge. You will most likely not understand them unless you know the anime that
