Interview with a Poet — Pseu Pending
A Delectable Interview
Pseu and I have been in correspondence about this interview for quite some time — back and forth on questions and ideas. It’s not only an interview with a poet, but a multi-lingual poet with multi-layered skills. Pseu’s recent work and submissions about special foods has been delicious addition to The Howling Owl.
What is your history as a writer? How long have you been a writer and how did you begin?.
It started in the museum education days of my adult expat years. A creative approach to research papers led to writing for a magazine. It was sporadic but exceedingly satisfying. I picked up where I left off at age seventeen when I veered to an art career at university. My then English teacher discouraged the notion of a creative writing path, deeming it unpractical. But two further years of English literature classes in between buoyed my love for writing.
Here at The Howling Owl, you have practically begun a new genre as a writer — Poetry about Food — Gastronomical Delights. How did that begin?
I hadn’t thought about it until you commented, “What a new genre you are creating here…” in response to my recent food poem The Secret Behind Beautiful Aging. Your words gained ground.
