Interview with Melody Wilson

Editorial Assistant Rosie Leggott’s Interview with Winter 2023 Contributor Melody Wilson
 
Rosie Leggott: Do you write all of your poems based on personal experience, or do you ever draw on the experiences of others that you are passionate about? When do you know that you will write about something? Is it in the moment (as it appears with Postmodern Pedestrian), or is it more reflective (as it appears in Hand Me Down)?
