The Art of Writing #52 has been published in talking about strawberries all of the time where I answer the questions:

How did you first come to writing poetry? What is it about the form that resonates? “I love how words in a poem can be condensed and yet carry so much meaning and music…”

Plus: How does a poem begin? You’ve published multiple full-length poetry collections. Do you see your writing as a single, extended project, or a series of self-contained units? Have you a daily schedule by which you work, or are you working to fit this in between other activities? Who are some of the writers you are reading lately that most excite you?

Also the five new poems.
