Coming of age author Andy N, talks about writing, poetry and podcasting. He is a poet, author, musician, and fellow podcaster. His entire life he has been writing poetry, and has published many full-length poetry books throughout his career. Very recently, he published his debut novel, Birth. Birth" tells a story where a young writer's world is full of feeling - joy, sorrow, humor, and even darkness in its cornes. We not only talk about the book, but about writing a coming-of-age story, the choice of setting, and why he shifted into writing novels instead of books.
