And her identity was somewhat fluid,
And she said she came from Penge …

Poet Kevin Morris’s Interview on the World Poetry Reading Series
On Monday 2 October, I was interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of the World Poetry Reading Series. During my interview, I read several of my poems and talked about what inspires me to compose poetry. In addition, I answered several questions, including 1 from a listener who asked how to start writing poetry and how to deal with criticism.
