BROWN ISLAND
In the middle of nowhere,
Away from the hustle and bustle,
Calming,
Soothing,
Out in nature.
Tall trees,
Smelling the pine and moss,
Clear water,
Filled with life.
A retreat from the world,
This little island
Is my special place.
—from 2017 Rattle Young Poets Anthology

Why do you like to write poetry?
Liam Fox: “I like writing poetry because you get to paint a picture in someone’s head and because it doesn’t have a specific structure. I like the freedom this gives me.”
