What is your Elevenses beverage of choice? Tell me a little bit about yourself and your story.  Can you describe what you think about the power of place? How do you encapsulate your story into poetry? Why do you think poetry is a good vessel for storytelling? Is there some writing you keep to yourself? For the rest of it, why do you think it’s important to share your words via publications and/or share your craft with your students? What good and/or bad things have you experienced from sharing your stories in these different ways? How does your faith influence your writing, and vise-versa, how has this work of writing impacted your faith journey? Do you have any practical tips, habits, or routines that help you live/write a good story?  Who else has a story that has impacted you, who you might love to hear share their story on this podcast? What books/movies/shows have inspired you personally, creatively, and spiritually? Is there anything you want to add or reiterate from our conversation? Where can we find you and your work?
