Kollin Kennedy did not grow up thinking that he'd be a poet, but he did grow up with a profound love of language.
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Instagram-famous poet and University of North Texas graduate Kollin Kennedy to talk about his journey into the world of poetry and his love for the written word. Kollin also shares how he was inspired to start writing verse, and how consistent posting on Instagram helped him to create a book of original poetry. He even shares two poems from his new book, As Time Goes By: A Collection of Poetry and Prose. The two swap stories about life as English majors--and discuss the importance of putting one's thoughts into one's own words.
