poems rather than asking me which of my poems I like most.
Q: Do your poems reflect your inner self or are you influenced by some one?
They reflect my identity. However, I might be also influenced by Dr. Russom,
Isaias Tsegai and Robert Frost.
Q: What

stylehttp://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png did you
follow when writing?
I follow romantic style. And they describe social life and love of country.
Q: When did you identify yourself as a poem writer?
It was in 2002 while I was in Sawa taking my high school education that I
thought I could be a writer. There a competition and I stood first. And that
was the turning point in my life to become a writer. I had also the
inclination of reciting poems when I was a kid.
Q: How?
Because I grew up among the society which has strong ties with traditional
culture. They recite poems and songs while engaged in different activities
like farming, doing communal works. The marriage ceremonies and the songs
sang there are purely cultural. That had big influence on me.
Q: How do you relate journalism with poem writing?
They are in the same discipline. In both fields you interact with people,
you go to the people, and you try to understand the situation of the people
and you write either for the media or you put them in the form of poems.
Q: What is your future plan?
I am collecting more poems with my friends and in a short period of time we
hope to produce another book.
Good Luck!
