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
