Name?
Jeremiah Walton
Age?
18
Location?
Cross country travels
How long have you been writing?
Writing in general, for as long as I can remember.
Throwing all my cards into poetry didn’t begin until my Sophomore
year.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I am currently beating away the “I want to be Ginsberg”
writing attitude.
Do you write full time?
Yes
What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment as a
writer?
Sparking up interest from others in the creative arts.
What is your ultimate goal as a writer?
To broaden the poetic community as a whole, and promote
creating for Self.
What is your greatest challenge as a writer?
I want to say finances, but innovation is probably more so.
Something new needs to be brought to the table, I just haven’t honed in
on what yet.
What projects of yours have been recently published?
Smile W/ Sparks (of a shotgun shot) came out in August from
W.I.S.H. Publishing. I did a collaboration of art and poetry called I’m
Bringing Heaven With Me On My Way To Hell with Heaven Leigh, an artist I met
traveling, again, published through W.I.S.H. Publishing.
Witch-hunting Gatsby’s Children (UndergroundBooks) and LSD
Gigggles & Other Poems (Cydonia Group Press) will be coming out in early
2014. I’m currently putting together a collection of poems by the
recently passed The Plastic Clown, and a book by Felino A. Soriano of
Counterexample Poetics.
Where can we find your work?
Gatsby’s Abandoned Children is my personal blog. Most
of my books can be read free there, opinions are welcome.
How often do you write?
I always have something on me to record an idea, whether
it’s a phone, iPod, or pencil and notepad. I don’t usually sit down to
force myself to write poetry. When it comes to fiction or blog articles,
I force. Otherwise, poems just happen.
How do you re-act to rejections?
“It happens.”
How do you react to acceptance?
“YES!”
What is your best piece of advice for staying sane as a
writer?
If you’re staying sane, you’re doing, what is impossible to
do wrong, wrong.
Favorite book?
I can’t say I have one favorite book, but my favorite writer
is Lawrence Ferlinghetti, but it’s not just for his writing. He’s
contributed many opportunities for other writers and creative artists, and that
is invaluable.
Favorite author?
I would like to have a chat with the rabbits in Watership
Down. They’d have an interesting perspective to peek into.
What is the greatest occupational hazard for a writer?
Writing
Favorite word?
Serendipity

am not a fan of Jimi or Sinatra though.
(Sorry, I don't listen to The Beatles, Stones, Jimi, or
Frank, and don't know their music well.)

Bukowski.
