Recently I had the pleasure to be asked to take part in an interview/reading/panel discussion with a group of wonderful speculative poets, hosted by Fantasy co-editor Arley Sorg and Nightmare editor Wendy N. Wagner. We had a wonderful time reading our work and talking influences, favorite poets, inspiration, as well as all the things that make poetry a creative form that speaks to us on a personal level.
Hearing everyone read their work aloud was a particular treat for me, because a poet's intentions can be conveyed in subtle and beautiful ways when they read their own work; ways that are lost when the poem is read by another. I was in awe of the talent gathered in that little chat room, and so honored to be included. Check it out if you can!
