Goodreads asked Jorie Henrickson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jorie Henrickson My book "Fukiu" has six chapters, each inspired by a different scourge of society. The general categories are roommates, exes, corporations, bad drivers and the workplace. I also have a chapter for the general community.

Some of the poems refer to events from my own life. An example is the one about the boyfriend who wanted us to live in a storage unit. Well, the whole "Exes" chapter is from my own life.

The "Corporations" chapter addresses actions taken by corporations. I include footnotes from online sources to explain the inspiration for each.

I am happy to answer questions about particular fukiu.
