Featured Interview With Amaranthine Poetry
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m Amaranthine Poetry. I’m a Nigerian-born Indian poet/author. I self-published my debut collection in May 2018. I love reading modern poetry. I love food. Mostly vegetarian (I love Chicken). I love sleeping (escaping the world). Not very outdoorsy but I admire the nature. Huge RihannaNavy and ClaflinFan!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was like 13 or 14 when I started reading. I love Enid Blyton’s books. J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. Then by 2016 I started writing poetry. I fell in love with it and now I love reading modern poetry a lot.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Rupi Kaur, Pablo Neruda, Atticus, R.H.Sin and there’s this instapoet @the_mumbling_hermit they are my favourite poets. I’ve read their work religiously. And they’ve definitely inspired me.
I love reading modern poetry now. A lot. But I’m also currently reading Tender is the Night by Fitzgerald.
Love in all of it’s shapes and forms inspires me to write. I’ve been through depression. So these things heavily influence my work.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
It’s a Poetry collection. It’s called Notes From The Heart. I wrote it in a span of two years and three months (2016-17 and till April 2018). I never thought of a book before. I was always like who’s going to read a poetry book, you know? But then I was looking on the internet after a friend suggested to do so and I saw Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur and Atticus with Love Her Wild were blowing up . So I was like let’s put this together. Hopefully people read it and love it and most importantly, connect to it.
