Goodreads asked Issara Simone Edwards:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Issara Simone Edwards My most recent book is a collection of poetry called 'Oceans and Dust: Poems for Loneliness'. The book sort of happened organically after taking an online course with Commune. It was the Jacqueline Suskin course, 'Every Day is a Poem'. I used to write poetry everyday but that part of me got buried somewhere between here and there. The course revived the poet in me and I haven't been able to stop writing them since. I currently have plans for a second poetry collection, I'm currently just working on illustrations for it.
