Episode 89: Anthony Green Jr.

Poet and musician Anthony Green Jr. grew up around music and books, thanks to his parents. These days he tries to honor them and his own family with being the best version of an artist he can be. In this episode of The Written Scene, Anthony discusses starting out with music and how poetry was a natural progression, having parents who find importance in reading and artistic endeavors, why digital books was the right choice over print, how his son is his biggest writing motivator, creating books as time capsules, viewing himself as a writer first and above all else, starting with the book title first and writing to support that, learning when in the day you write best, writing about grief and how poetry helps process feelings better than other genres, how a good relationship makes life feel a little easier, using music with poetry to help perform the poetry, and much more.
