Goodreads asked David Anthony Sam:

How do you get inspired to write?

David Anthony Sam Short answer: Just sit down and write something, every day preferably, and don't worry how bad it seems. I try to draft new poems early in the morning or late at night, when the subconscious is near the surface.

But I gain matter for poems from reading, from watching great television like the old and the new "Cosmos" series, from daily life, from simple observations of nature and city life, and from imagining myself as another person.
