Poetry Advent Calendar 8: Post-it Poets

Published on

The Poetry Round

It's slightly late, but hid­ing be­hind the eighth door of our Ad­vent Cal­en­dar is our lat­est post-it poet, the inim­itable Kristina Wo­j­taszek. Hail­ing from Wyoming, USA, Kristina is an avid col­lec­tor of odd trin­kets and hope­ful ever-af­ters.  She pens poems, fairy tale retellings, ghost sto­ries and other shorts.  Fol­low her trail of crumbs on her web­site, Twice Upon A Time.

Kristina: Warmed milk and my lat­est read.

cafebabel.​com:​ What chil­dren's book would you give to a stranger (young or old)?

Kristina: Hor­ton Hatches the Egg, be­cause it should be, it should be, it should be like that!

cafebabel.​com:​ How do you col­lect yours and oth­ers' po­etry?

Kristina: On shelves, scat­tered over my desk and the floor, be­tween the sheets; wher­ever they hap­pen to land.

Kristina: What watches you while you write (liv­ing or non)?
