Gabriel Weaver (28 February 1994-), is a Secondary Education (Language Arts) major in Anderson University. He is from Newark, Ohio. Weaver’s celebrity humor muses include Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig, Carol Burnett and Jim Carrey. He values words to a fault. Even though he is unable to define a specific writing style or thought-process, he experiments with different forms to eventually find one that perhaps already exists in his writing. This poem that he wrote was taken as an inspiration from Wallace Stevens’ “Thirteen Ways to Looking at a Blackbird.”
