This is part one of a two-part interview with Anique Sara Taylor. Anique is an established author of the following books Civil Twilight, Where Space Bends, and Poems. She is regarded with a high profile in the writer community with her numerous awards and nominations including the winner of the 2022 Blue Light Poetry Prize for Civil Twilight.

Anique’s story is revolutionary, as we talk about growing up in the 50s, and exploring the idea of being able to express oneself fully. Her influences from family, friends, and teachers are shared.

Her take on this health issue is brought forward, leading to a fruitful discussion on how to overcome this and prosper.
