Jack Prelutsky

When I began writing, I didn't read any other children's poets... I didn't want to be influenced until I'd found my own voice. Now I read them all. ↗

Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood. ↗

I'm working now on a collection of Shakespearean sonnets, about 100 of them, that I may publish if anyone's interested. My take on life is a little different from the bard's. ↗
