Interview with poet cc lindh (boyz will b boyz)

Poet cc lindh is become a WILDsound Festival staple.

Here is her recent poem boyz will be boyz:

Matthew Toffolo chats with cc lindh:

Matthew: What is the theme of your poem?

cc: My poem is about my first experience with the feeling of being just a toy for boys. It was the first time that I can remember feeling terrified and powerless at an extreme level. I also wanted to write something that speaks about sexual abuse and rape as more than 20% of women/girls are violated. This is an unbelievable statistic in this day and age.

Matthew: How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

cc: I hope that my poem generates dialogue. It is only through talk, discourse, that problems have a hope of ever being solved. There’s a long road ahead, unfortunately.

Matthew: How long have you been writing poetry?

cc: I have been writing songs and poems for many years.

Matthew: Do you have a favorite poet?

cc: Ms. Emily Dickinson.

Matthew: What influenced you to submit to WILDsound and have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

cc: I wanted to share my work with others. I have more poems in my book: The edge of you & other poems. My book is on amazon.

Matthew: Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

cc: I also wrote a novella: Oceana: a love story (on amazon). I also write screenplays.
