Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Brian Wood discuss the following:
- Tell us a little about yourself- when did you first begin writing?
- When did you realize that poetry was the form of writing you excelled in?
- You’ve had two collections of poetry published now. How does your work as a literary agent help you as a writer of poetry?
- Your first book Winter Walk introduced readers to your classical style of poetry- focusing on rhyme and meter. What is it about that form vs post modern poetry that you prefer?
- Weekend Getaway at Generic Hotel is an interesting title for your second book – what is the focus of this new work?
