What is the duty of the writer? How would one describe a poem when asked? Why publish a book? What is the best platform to use for marketing? We more than likely will not agree on any of the answers provided whether by humans or Artificial Intelligence it will not matter.” https://instagram.com/ajwordartist Jessica Loos Jessica Loos is a poet, performer, and event organizer living in San Francisco.
