Today we’re continuing to hear parts of my interview with Fisher Poet and author Pat Dixon, who just published a book of poetry called Mending Holes, about his memories of life as a commercial fisherman.

One of the topics I love to explore with people who make their way in the creative arts, is to ask them about their process: how do these magical works come to be, seemingly out of thin air.

Every writer, poet, songwriter, for instance, seems to tap into that muse, that process, that creative spark, in their own way.

So today I’m talking with Pat about how he writes his poems.
