MIDDLETOWN—E.P. Fisher got a hint from the moon and made a poem. “Hints from the Moon (Monday)” is one in a series for each day of the week. “It was a challenge that I made myself.”

Three of his poems were published on Dec. 21 on The Society of Classical Poets website, a recognition that his poems were considered “exemplary” by the Society. The Epoch Times recently spoke with the poet about his work and poetry more generally.

Poetry is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.
