𖥻 ⋮ Is there a particular poem from your book that holds the most meaning to you? Why?

Well, it's quite difficult for me to choose just one poem. All my poems are reflections of my thoughts and feelings.

𖥻 ⋮ Do you see poetry as a form of expression, escape or something else?

For me, poetry will always be a form of expression.

𖥻 ⋮ Do you think poetry is more about the poet's intention or the reader's interpretation?

I think poetry is a combination of the poet's intention and the reader's interpretation.

𖥻 ⋮ How do you balance emotion and technique in a poem?

I try to balance emotions with figures of speech so that my poetry remains genuine while also being expressive and impactful.

𖥻 ⋮ Do any personal experiences influence your poetry, and how do they influence it?

Yes, personal experiences also influence my poetry. At times, I try to include them in my poems.

𖥻 ⋮ Is there a specific theme or message that connects all the poems in your collection?

Well, none of my books holds a specific theme. They are random collections in which I try to include various themes.

𖥻 ⋮ How do you distinguish between poetry that is "relatable" and poetry that is genuinely meaningful or impactful?

Relatable poetry is when you recognize yourself in it, "I felt this" whereas impactful poetry either changes you or stays with you, "I'll remember this."

𖥻 ⋮ In your opinion, is it more important for a poem to be understood by many or deeply felt by a few? Why?

I prefer quality over quantity, so I would rather be deeply felt by a few.

𖥻 ⋮ If your poetry had an aesthetic, how would you describe it?

I think I'll let the readers of my book decide this answer. After all, a book is incomplete without its readers.

𖥻 ⋮ Have you ever felt your identity as a poet shift after receiving feedback or recognition?

Positive feedback and achievements motivate me to move forward on my path, while negative feedback and constructive criticism serve as lessons that help me improve.

𖥻 ⋮ Is there anything you'd like to share with your audience?

I just want to say: always follow your heart, and stay positive and happy.
