Degna Stone is an award-winning poet and poetry editor. They are co-founder and former Managing Editor of Butcher’s Dog poetry magazine, a Contributing Editor at The Rialto, and an associate artist with The Poetry Exchange. Currently, Degna is Project Manager for the Rebecca Swift Foundation, an organisation dedicated to the craft, creativity and wellbeing of women poets. You can also find them leading Caves with Caveday.org.

Proof of Life on Earth, Nine Arches Press, is their debut poetry collection.

Kathie’s note: You know how some people are so calm, so centered, they just exude warmth and safety? That’s Degna. My impression of Degna, anyway. They are one of the lovely guides at Caveday, all of whom are pretty fabulous and individually unique. I loved this discussion about poetry and being a poet.
