Elisa Matvejeva : part four

When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?

I’ve shouted from the rooftops about Ocean Vuong before, but he really is an inspiration. I hope that one day, when I require renewal, I could just call him up and have a chat instead of just reading his poetry. But it will suffice for now. His poems just transport me into another realm. He’s the reason I started this journey of publishing. His book Night Sky with Exit Wounds really gets to me, it’s so beautifully crafted. It always manages to renew me.
