![]() What’s one of the most surprising facts you’ve come across while researching your poetry? Many of your books celebrate the beauties of nature, especially little-known parts of nature. I remember in grade school a couple friends and I created a "graphic novel" (we called it a cartoon) based on magical versions of ourselves. Read what you love and trying writing in the same style.
