When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
At sixty-three I no longer turn to books for renewal. I turn to music or I take walks. When I need to remember why I write I find working with emerging poets and reading the poetry submissions for Room Magazine or for Turtle Island Responds brings me much needed inspiration. It is often emerging poets that restore my belief in the power of poetry to bring awareness and healing to difficult issues.
