“Poetry is like pooping. If it’s inside you, it has to come out.”
– Sarah Kay
How did you get interested in writing poems?
I was writing ever since I could hold a pencil. I was very little when I started writing. But most of them were journal poetry. The poems were very private and were not meant for anybody else to read. I also never felt like sharing it with anybody and I definitely didn’t want to perform. I wasn’t a performer when I was young. But I was always writing even if it was just for my own self.
