*Hey everyone this is my 3rd interview entry in this series I created where I gain insight from other poets in the WordPress community. This time around I spoke with Sylvester L.Anderson and we talked about his favorite styles of poetry, his opinions on publication, and the positivity he expresses through his everyday writing. It was pleasure to learn more about him and I look forward to reading more of his uplifting poetry. If you have not checked out any of his work, then you’re missing out on poetry that will make a moment of your day. Also check him out on Twitter at @SylvesterPoetry for more. Peace

Q: How would describe the current state of poetry and should schools emphasize creative writing and poetry in English curriculum’s?
