Over recent years, I've given several online "interviews" to people who are interested in my views on poetry. Mostly, these have been questions by school children who have to do an "interview a living, published poet" project. So I thought I'd share some of my answers on my web. Some of the questions I answer include:

* Why do you write poetry?
* How does poetry impact your life?
* What are the qualities to become a poet?
* What first inspired you to write poetry?
* What creates an inspirational environment for the poet?
* Who are your favourite poets?
* What inspired you to use Africa for your poems?
* What is the message of your poem “I am an African”?
