How did you first engage with poetry?
I first started writing poetry on the subway in New York City. I had an hour commute each way each day and during this commute I would simply sit and observe the sea of people around me. There was so much life there, so many details that made up those lives and I suddenly starting getting lines and turns of phrase in my head. I bought a pocket sized red notebook and in it I began to write my first collection of poems.
