Crazy Bout You
Dear Reader,
The mentor text I imitated here is the author blurb titled Food Babe. I chose this text because I want the reader to be able to relate to my blurb in a way that is important to them and be intrigued by the experience of my writing, as Food Babe more than accomplished this for me. Does this blurb make the reader want to dig deeper into me as a writer or not so much? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the informal language used here? Do you think I should include details in my past experiences that show the risk that vocalizing romantic poetry is for me as a writer more effectively?
Within the last year, I have found an enormous love for writing poetry. My family as well as my friends here in college at UNCG have been encouraging me to express these poems in more efficient ways such as vocally, for instance going to an open mic night or putting posters around campus to make my poetry more official. Romantic poetry is my strong suit, as writing about what the future woman in my life will be like comes so fluently to me. I foresee her and me sharing spaghetti, as food is priority for me and any woman of mine, and we will lean in close to one another as we eat the same noodle just as Lady and the Tramp once did. I grew up around girls who loved sports, so I imagine her yelling at the tv with me as we watch football because our Philadelphia Eagles are losing badly. These visions as corny as they might appear, are ever so true, as this passion for finding love flows from my mind into my poetry more seamlessly than any other form of writing ever has or ever will. Poetry makes me feel secure and allows my confidence in my love life as well as myself to soar. This new-found fondness of rhyme and reason regarding the future love of my life reveals no fantasy, as I have envisioned her in my thoughts and gain a better understanding of these thoughts when I put a pencil to paper. I was inspired to finally pick up this pencil due to a recent breakup that hit me like a mom hits Kohl’s on black Friday, as my love for her was powerful and real. This translated directly into my poetry as I can express my real emotions and establish the powerful devotion I hold within me for when my future love comes into my life. Through this romantic heartbreak I have experienced in my life in the recent past, my poetry guides me and relinquishes just how crazy about this girl I am indeed still going to be, as I will do all I can to treat her right, and one day tell her I’m Crazy Bout You.
My name is Kyle Passio, and I am a diehard Italian when it comes to my spaghetti, as well as my romantic poetry. I am also a major sports fan as I have been around some sort of ball my entire life, and while playing sports is no longer a central point in my life, pursuing writing most certainly is and always will be. Even Though I want my future love to cherish Italian cuisine and enjoy yelling at the tv with me, it is truly amazing to find one thing that is unique to who I am, one thing that gives me an identity to share with this future love of my life, and that is poetry.
If you ever want to experience my funky love rhymes, please feel free to approach me or email me and I will share with you this special part of me that is my romantic poetry. Thank you for your support!

Dear Mrs. Reynolds,
This Author Blurb proclaims the significance of poetry on my life. For in this piece I illustrate where this love I have for poetry came from, but I also express how my experiences have affected my own popularity in school, and the affect my social class has on this concept of poetry, as I have an opportunity that many people in the world do not, and that is to publicly present my poetry that relinquishes my identity as a writer. This is a huge risk for me, as I have never done anything like this, but it is something I want to do and should do no matter the risk. This connects to August in Wonder as well, as he wants to go to school and must take on the risk of being seen differently due to his facial features. I love this piece and believe it is very strong, and it will be fascinating and impactful to readers and my future students that I reveal it to when I am teaching writing in high school English.
