Abstract

Tell me about your writing process: My approach has always been spontaneous. When the moment comes, everything else is dropped. It takes over. It is very quick, it's pen to paper. I know I've got it when I've got to the end. I let it be, I get my breathe back and then I'm ready I go back and do drafts until I've got the rhythm right, the sound right, until I've recaptured that moment of where the poetry came from, where the inspiration came from.
