Writing about this work in the afterword to Nets, she stated: “When we write poems, the history of poetry is with us, pre-inscribed in the white of the page.” This is the opposite of appropriation, a common postmodern practice.

![]() ![]() I’ve always had a lot of people in my life, adults and my parents and teachers, who identified it as well, so it didn’t seem like it was a mystery to anybody. There are actually ways to do this correctly, there’s a business aspect of it so that was really more impactful for me because I had sort of been thinking, and I still do, that this is who I am, this is what I do, this is where my power is, and I guess I just thought that everybody would just figure it out ’cause I’ve always had a lot of support. So what I went through was in junior high, having a teacher who also happened to be a professional writer introduced me to the fact that there’s actually an industry for this. So this is just who I am, this is just what I do, and I never had a moment where I didn’t know I was a writer. I have been writing ever since I have been journaling and I literally started doing that when I was seven years old. ![]() Q: What lead you to become a storyteller?Ī: It’s so beautiful when people have these moments that are really distinct, that they can remember realizing that “I want to be a writer”. ![]() ![]() His most notable books are ‘One Day’ and ‘Starter for 10’.
