I was interviewed about all things poetry by the lovely Kay. You can check it out here!
With me today is Callum McLaughlin, author of The Vessel, False Awakening, and Seeking Solace. He’s graciously agreed to talk poetry with me, and I hope you’ll have as much fun reading about his work as I did. 🙂
KK: So, how long have you been writing poetry?
CM: I’ve been writing in virtually every capacity since childhood. My earliest memory specifically associated with poetry is when I won a school competition aged 10 and I’ve been interested in the art form ever since. The poems included in Seeking Solace were written throughout the last couple of years, which is when I’d say I started really taking it seriously and falling more and more in love with it.
KK: We have something in common there – I wrote my first poem at age ten for a summer homework assignment. 🙂 What got you interested in poetry?

Awesome. We recently acquired both of your books. Can’t wait to read them.
That’s brilliant, Lisa. Thank you for your support 🙂
Thank you for liking “Heart and Soul” and “Happy Valentine’s Day.” I enjoyed reading this interview. I especially like your advice to someone interested in taking up poetry. I am glad that there are no set rules for writing poetry too, and it is fun to experiment with different arrangements of words even if the results might be less than perfect. 🙂
My book came yesterday 🙂 I can’t wait to dive in – it looks fabulous.
Thank you, Mel 🙂 I hope it lives up to your expectations!
I have absolutely no doubt it will 🙂
