• Juan Re Crivello: Do you think poetry is back in fashion?

CJ: I do believe that poetry as a whole is currently experiencing a wave of interest, and I personally believe that this is a good thing.

• JRC: Do you write poetry daily, or do you write as ideas come to you?

CJ: I usually write some poems five times a week and haikus seven days a week. I try to do it before I have to go to class.

• JRC: What is your next publishing project? Could you tell us how it came about?

CJ: The collection I plan to create will have pieces of writing centered around love, life, and other topics that will bring tears to your eyes. I have a title in mind, but can’t spell the beans yet but it involves my favorite breakfast food.

• JRC: The city you live in, and a description of your favorite bar or café.

CJ: I live close to border of Mexico, so I guess I am close to Chula Vista. One cafe I been to was somewhat old and comfy. They had banana pancakes and they were yummy.

The paper covered my eyes
A snake aggressively hissed
My cigarette hit a swan
And it decomposed
