For National Poetry Month, we invited three poets—Julian Talamantez Brolaski (2019 Fellow-in-Residence), Kayleb Rae Candrilli (2021 Fellow), and Marissa Johnson-Valenzuela (2020 Fellow)—to discuss what drew them to poetry, how writing and “pre-writing” permeates throughout their daily lives, and how to sustain a creative practice over time.
