I love photography and on occasion, I take pictures myself. I love reading books as well, not necessarily poetry books. I also love playing video games like survival horror games, adventure games, and retro quest games. Of course, spending quality time with my family. 8. For poets out there, what advice would you give them when writing? No matter how amazing a poem is in meaning and format, it’s imperative to make sure it has no language errors. Errors can be a real turn off. And the poet may risk losing credibility as well. 9. Besides your own what other kinds of poetry do you enjoy reading? I don’t really have preferences in the kinds of poems I read, but I am really fond of poetry by Oscar Wilde, Anna Akhmatova, Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg, Emily Dickenson, Rudyard Kipling, Maya Angelou, Edgar Allen Poe, and Alexander Pushkin. In my eyes, they are timeless and timely. Besides that, I am part of an online community called writerscafe.org and read other people’s stories, prose, and poems every single day. There are so many talented and touching contemporary writers out there. I have made a lot of lovely and supportive friends there. 10. Where can readers find your book of poetry? Moonchild Dreams can easily be found online on Createspace, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
