Poet Q & A /
Jess C Scott
With
Sunday Blogging doing well; I am planning to introduce a new section where I will
post details of interviews and experience with various writers and Poets. Today
I would like to introduce you to Jess C Scott. Jess is
an author/artist/non-conformist who’s dedicated to writing original stories
that are both meaningful and entertaining. Most of her work is fueled by an
intense drive to inspire others to favor social/spiritual values over shallow
values.
Her website is www.jessINK.com
Her books are available in Amazon and I
very happily recommend her work to you all poetry lovers. Please find below a
short interview with this ‘Haiku Queen’
Describe yourself in 5 words:

Share a short excerpt and blurb of your work (10-100 words):
Functions in Analysis
God made us a brain
To sustain the insane pain
Of testing its use.
Share an excerpt of
your favorite poet’s work (10-100
words):
I have many favourites, but one that has always
stood out is the Zen poet, Ryokan.
I like this one in particular.
Too Lazy
to be Ambitious
Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days’ worth of rice in
my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.
Did reading a poem
first spark the desire to write poetry, or was it an experience?:
I attended a creative writing workshop when I was
nine or ten (which was how I was first introduced to the ‘haiku’ 5-7-5 syllable
format). I was drawn to the format because it was both fun and challenging. I
write short stories and novels at the moment, though I’ll always enjoy reading and writing poetry. It is
a literary form which demands a high level of technical ability along with
aesthetic appreciation!
What goal do you
seek through your poetry?
Clarity of thought, precision, and transcendence.
Please share your
#1 tip for poets/writers:
Keep reading and writing, and always be open to
learning something new (that’d be my advice for
anyone who wants to achieve something in life, not just poets/writers!).
Your websites/blogs/etc:
Have a great day!
