How did you first engage with poetry?

I’m not sure I know. As a child, I used to collect poems – whenever I chanced upon one I liked, I would copy it down in a little notebook I kept. At about the age of thirteen, I discovered the Romantic poetry and fell in love with it. I learned how to play the guitar too, around the same time; it was in an attempt to write a song that I wrote my first poem.
