How did you first engage with poetry?
I first found poetry through Henry Rollins. I was/am a massive Black Flag / Rollins Band fan and consumed all of his music and books. This then led to Bukowski. I was also involved in some online poetry groups, which whilst a little sycophantic, gave me exposure to other poets, forms and styles, and helped me to branch out. Now I try and read as widely and broadly as possible. I tend to get over excited about everything.
