She made her own poetry books from paper, cardboard, and shiny wrapping paper. As she went into her teens, she began to hear poetry through music lyrics. This is when she began to jot images and thoughts in response to more of what was happening around her. This influence was huge, and this visceral response to life became and continues to be the impetus for most of her poetry. Linda also has made it a hard and fast rule that the style must fit the poem and not the other way around. This has required her to study different styles (Pantoum, Triolet Tanka, free verse) and to learn to appreciate the words of many different poets, as well as the 'shape' of those words. Throughout the days and nights, she records thoughts and images on the closest thing to write on. The sorting and then creating with all the paper scraps, napkins, etc. has been a wonderful, gigantic, frightening, and satisfying adventure. One that Linda plans to continue indefinitely.

email: dancardoza@hotmail.com Twitter: @Cardozabig https://www.facebook.com/people/Dan-A... https://www.dan-a-cardoza-literature.com Yes, Dan A. Cardoza was born in a small lumber town named Weed, California. The city was named after this entrepreneur in the lumber industry, Abner Weed. He has an MS Degree in counseling, with a B.A. degree in psychology. Bother degrees were earned at California State University, Sacramento. Dan has been published over 350 times over the years, internationally. Much of his work can be accessed free online at his website, or simply by Googling Dan A. Cardoza, the author. Dan’s main literary interests over the years have included poetry, nonfiction, fiction, and all sorts of pros. He loves writing about northern California, because it has not been explored much over the years in terms of setting. Much of his work involves short stories that occur in cities and towns familiar to Dan, and so he is able to share the rich and diverse topography of the ‘other’ California. Many of his characters include bits and pieces of friends and family, but he makes sure never to out anyone’s behavior. Lately, Dan has written a lot of literary horrors, which is underrepresented in the genre. Writing clear, short, direct sentences doesn’t mean a writer has to short change the reader who desires more nuanced and colorful language. It can be done, and Dan has three horror collections to prove his point. Dan also completed his first novel, and it is listed on his website and Goodreads: The Beginner’s Guide to Betrayal. Should you like, email or message Dan, he would be glad to hear from you.
