The “good/serious” poetry taught in high school was miserable and I remember a shift where everyone started to hate poetry. In middle school, we learned about haiku and I loved it. Ryan Mecum: I grew up thinking I liked poetry. Can you describe for our readers how you became interested in writing in haiku and why you chose that particular style of poetry? Paige MacGregor: Having published two books, Zombie Haiku and Vampire Haiku, it is clear that you enjoy, or at least are drawn to, writing in haiku. He was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer some of our questions about poetry, writing, and genre. Ryan currently is working on a third book of horror/comedy poetry called Werewolf Haiku, set for release this September. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with the author of Zombie Haiku: Good Poetry for Your…Brains and Vampire Haiku, Ryan Mecum.
