Andrew Williams : part two

How did you first engage with poetry?

I began reading and writing poetry when I was nearing the completion of my PhD at Bangor University (Wales) in theology. But as soon as I became interested in it, I began reading voraciously. I read William Shakespeare to William Blake to William Wordsworth all the way to reading the contemporary William (Billy) Collins. If I remember correctly, I believe it was Collins’ popular anthology Poetry 180 that introduced me to contemporary poetry.
