Q&A with Author Jennifer Renson
ULM: How many poems have you
written so far? ULM: Which of your poems would say
is your favorite?
I have never counted the amount of
poems I have written. I can say that I
have been writing since childhood and
since then my poems have changed,
adapted and improved. My favorite poems are my The Walking
Dead inspired ones. It is no secret that
I have been a fan of the show since the
beginning. I find the story, characters,
and locations compelling topics for my
poems. It amazes me that as the show
is about to continue it's second half of
Season 10 how much it has impacted
me and my writing. I love to look back
at those poems, some I haven't self-
published yet, and remember those
characters or that season of the show
and how much it has changed since.
ULM: What types of poetry do you
enjoy creating?
I base my poems on what inspires me.
Admittedly my inspiration has a mind of
it's own. I can never tell what my next
poem will be about until it is complete.
That is the beauty of poetry. You never
know what will happen.
ULM: How many books do you have
published?
I have three self-published poetry
books: Delightfully Dark: A Collection of
Poems and Tales, Eo: Go, walk, ride,
sail, pass, travel and Uncharted. I have
written two modern-day fairy tales with
a whimsical twist that I will self publish
in the near future titled: Carousel and
The Cottontail.
ULM: How would you describe your
writing style?
I would best describe my writing style
as creative storytelling. I find that no
matter the subject of my poems and
writing, I tend to tell a story in some
way. Even if it is unintentional. I have
embraced my style of writing some
years ago, proud that I can tell a story
about any subject.
ULM: You mentioned you do other
types of writing. Can you share with us,
readers, about that?
I am currently a contributor for
Fansided's Dork Side of the Force.
This is a Star Wars Fansided page
where I have been writing about
Star Wars merchandise, Galaxy's
Edge, characters and other topics.
In the past I was a contributor for
Fansided's Undead Walking, which
is a The Walking Dead Fansided
page.
ULM: What were your struggles as
a writer, if any? What advice would
you give to future writers?
