Read the interview with the author at Sentinel Literary Quarterly.

"Unfortunately, the concept of a poet is often of someone who is altogether too self-absorbed, too limply detached from reality. Nevertheless, I feel that the poet as a wordsmith philosopher, as an expresser of truths, does still have a potentially important role to play in today’s world. If I am to be a poet, though, I feel the honour of that label should be bestowed by others, not claimed by me as a job title."
