Get to know the poet:

1) What is the theme of your poem?

– The theme of my poem is how the environment around us changes over time, and so does society. They correspond and intertwine with each other.

2) What motivated you to write this poem?

– This poem was spanned from listening to a song called *Nameless Station*, and writing lyrics that came to mind while listening to this song. Hence the name of my poem, “Accolade to Nameless Station.’

3) How long have you been writing poetry?

– Officially, I’ve been writing poetry since 3rd grade when I was introduced to Haikus in school. Thank you Amy J.!

4) If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would that be?

– I have no idea! There are so many interesting people to choose from – William Wordsworth, Elizabeth Barrett, Edgar Allan Poe, Louis Armstrong, those are just a few examples.

5) What influenced you to submit to have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

– I like to submit my poetry to as many publications and opportunities as possible. “Accolade to Nameless Station” is one of those poems that seemingly has a different effect on people based on the voice they use while reading it. It’s intriguing to listen to my poem performed by a voice entirely different from my own.

6) Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

– I do write short stories as well. I have some long books in mind too.

7) What is your passion in life?

– Creative writing is my main passion. Writing poems, sharing them, and finding people who also enjoy poetry is one of the greatest joys in my life.
