How long have you been writing poetry?

I’ve been writing poetry off and on longer than I have not been writing poetry, though I never set out to be a poet. I did not major in English. I took no poetry courses in college. I do not have an MFA. While my siblings lean toward fine art and dance and my wife is a first rate musician, I refuge in the written word. Always have. Between writing essays, writing letters, and writing for myself, dreaming of journalism, research, and history, I have always come back to poetry...

Here is another interview I recently did with Liminoid Magazine. http://www.liminoidmagazine.com/john-reinhart-interview/

“The new heart will rise”: An interview with John Reinhart

1. This piece is all about using art as a tool for social change. What responsibility do you think writers have in particular to enact that kind of change, either in their communities (as the protagonist does here) or in the wider world?

The old must be let down gently into the flames. From the ashes, over the eastern horizon, the new heart will rise. The stars will realign to play new harmonies and the earth itself will shine radiantly...

At the risk of being redundant and self promoting, here is another interview I just did with Terrie Leigh Relf, The Kinder Muse

Relf: What tips do you have for other writers and/or editors?

Reinhart: Tips are great. They’ll rarely pay the bills. Write because it’s important (it is). There are no other rules than Keats’s reminder that “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
