How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?
I am often incredibly private with my work/writing process until it is published in a journal/zine/publication or shared on stage through a live reading/performance. If I’m struggling with a piece, I run it by my dogs/selves/whoever I happen to be around and that often helps me get out of my rut. I enjoy working ideas/poems with my brother who is one of my favourite writers and an inspiration along with ‘Writing While Black’ a collective of Black writers I belong to co-created by the illustrious Whitney French, that has facilitated my growth.
