Catholic poetry?

[Gerald Howard]

Dear community,

My name is Gerald Howard and a Roman Catholic, and I recently published a book of poetry. I was wondering if there were any fellow poets out there wanting to speak about the writing process especially as it relates to Catholic ideals and concerns. Or even if there is anyone interested about poetry?

Sincerely,
Gerald

What tips do you have for writing poetry?

Well, I don't feel like I am an expert on the subject, but I believe that you should always write a little bit each day-- and if just a few words appear to you, put it down on a piece of scratch paper or in an electronic document to come to later. If you write what you mean, it will always be genuine.
