How did it feel to publish your first book as part of the National Poetry Series?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Makayla. Pretty wonderful! I remember the day my first box of books arrived; I kept rubbing the cover as if it were a genie\u2019s lamp or a mirage. Maybe I was checking for authenticity. That night I walked around the house reading the collection aloud, from cover to cover. I must have finished it three or four times.<\/p>\n<p><b>How did you start writing? Did poetry come easy for you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t recall a time in my life when I wasn\u2019t scribbling something in a notebook somewhere, but I suppose I began to take poetry seriously my sophomore year of high school. I had a cool English teacher who took our class to the National Youth Poetry Slam (now known as Brave New Voices) at the University of Michigan. There I saw teens my age reading better versions of my notebook\u2019s contents but with flare. I thought \u201cI could do this\u201d and did, until my first college creative writing course where I began to spend more time on the page.<\/p>\n<p><b>A selection of your book titled \u201cBeats, Breaks, &amp; B-Sides\u201d has a lot of references to music. What do you feel is the relationship between your poetry and music?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Legendary drummer Art Blakey once said \u201cJazz washes away the dust of everyday life.\u201d Every now and then, when a poem is underway and I\u2019m in the pocket\u2014words in the right register, cadences crisp\u2014I feel a little like a lightheaded horn player or emcee. For several hours at a time, the real world falls away. Does that count?<\/p>\n<p><b>Where do you enjoy writing and what are your actual tools? Is your process actually like you describe in \u201cI\u2019m a Sad, Sad Man. So Sad\u201d? Or has it changed as you\u2019ve moved to different locations?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still writing on the go, always taking notes: in my planner, on the back of student poems, on flyers. Sometimes I start with a pen and make my way to the laptop. Other times I\u2019ll skip the pen and go straight to the PC. I\u2019ve got a great office in my apartment equipped with plenty of corkboard for in-progress poems and a punching bag for slow motion drafts. I usually write there.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who\/what are you currently reading\/listening to?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A little bit of everything.

I\u2019ll end up stealing from them before the semester is over.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure teaching has influenced my writing in more ways than I\u2019ve considered, but it certainly influences my reading. In a practical sense, I read poems more critically for the purpose of teaching, as opposed to sitting down with a literary journal on a leisurely Saturday afternoon. I\u2019ve read Galway Kinnell\u2019s \u201cAfter Making Love We Hear Footsteps\u201d literally hundreds of times.\u00a0 In preparation for class this morning, I reread the piece, saw something new, and fell for it all over again.
