Biopoem

Today while applying to Bridgewater International Poetry Festival, I was thinking of how to write the bio and came across How to write a biopoem and some examples.

Pursuer, Walker
Grandchild of Laxmamma
Who loves learning, observing
Who needs books, words, meaning
Who fears large bodies of water
Who tweets weird metaphors
Who would like to see ‘Paper Palace’

And then I thought instead of just writing the list of magazines, my work has appeared in, why not write of the subjects too, so the readers know more about the themes that I have been working with.
Only while applying for Madeleine Plonsker prize, did I get a concrete idea of nostalgia and grouped those poems into one set. (clarify - make clear  - clarified butter). These days I am getting aware of everyday words and their origins.
