Featured Interview With Billy J. Barnum
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Born in Bridgeport CT where my direct descendant died. He was “The greatest showman on earth” non other than P.T.Barnum. Raised in Stratford CT, and now reside in Ansonia CT. I have 2 birds and a cat crazy huh? lol 🙂
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing in my early to mid teens and I had a vivid imagination and started out writing songs and playing the guitar. Through natural progression I then started writing poetry that just poured out of my mind like some unknown spirit was responsible for writing them while my hand and pen were moving.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Favorite authors may be Dr. Seuss the cat in the hat and red fish, blue fish. It’s poetry and will live forever through our youth. I like profound poetry like the kind I write. I don’t really have an inspiration for writing when it comes to me I write it down quickly before it’s gone.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book “Move over Shakespeare Tales From The Baron” is being called in certain circles one of the greatest poetry book of a generation for which I am very humbled by that assumption. It has imagination, depth, tragedy, love, humility, sadness, and yes even humor.
