Goodreads asked Jason Myers:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jason Myers For me a poem usually begins with an image, or phrase. There's a music rummaging around between my ears, in my bones. I've had an experience that thrilled, overwhelmed, delighted me. I get obsessed with particular details, landscapes, ideas. The poems come, I work and rework them, some more come, I fit them together, throw them away, save them from the garbage.
