Huffington Post - Part and Parcel: Poet January Gill O'Neil

I'm up at the Huff Post! Thanks to Hannah Stephenson for interviewing me for her series Part and Parcel.  Here's a snippet.

"I tell my students all the time that they can and should write whatever they want to write, but it's up to them whether to make the poems public. The poems in Misery Islands certainly put that theory to the test as I was writing about the breakup of my marriage. Ultimately, I would not publish anything I felt was embarrassing to my friends and family. I wrote honestly about the hurt I felt when I realized the plan for my life was changing."

Here's a link to my second collection, Misery Islands.
