I focus on making visual poetry because I love that it is free of boundaries… And, it allows me access to a mediative process. I lose myself, in it.
When / why did you start writing poetry? – answers in adjectives – , playable , excitable , uncontrollable, becauseable, possible

What is your definition of what experimental poetry is? Anything that isn’t unexperimental
Have you done many interviews before? Do you find them repetitive? Repetitive? Repetitive?
I have only been interviewed once. It was by Anthony Etherin for the Penteract Press podcast, so no repetitive vibes.

Chocolate digestives and decaffeinated Earl Grey tea. I like to dunk.

Do you tell your social circle about your poet-ing? I do.
How do you rebel?
