"Not that poetry is that easy, but I found that I had a flair for it and realized that my poems were being published. I’m still writing my novel and am actually finishing it now ... They are related in that they have an acuity for language. There is a sensitivity to language and to honing things down to their essentials, especially in poetry." -HS
