Mark McGuinness on Poetry and Putting the Writing First
Description
Episode 108 / Mark McGuinness joins us this week to talk about poetry and it’s a fascinating discussion. We chat about the multiple ways to experience poetry as well as how writing first thing in the day has been a key to Mark’s success.
Show notes:
- Why you sometimes have to get out of the way and let the poem or prose come through
- Why it’s much better not to treat marketing as something separate from the creation process
- How a “mistake” led Mark to an unexpected career path
- Mark’s poetry podcast, A Mouth Full of Air, where each episode focuses on one poem and the inspiration and writing process behind it
- How poets bring their poetry into physical world, including his collaboration with a sculptor to produce concrete poetry
- A common mistake poets and writers often make
- Why writing first is a key to his success
