Meesh Montoya

If you didn’t write, what would you do?

I’d find another way to tell stories: I have a long and complicated history with music-making, so in an alternate universe I may be a troubadour.

What does your inner writing voice tell you?

Only write it if it needs to be written.

What period of your life do you find you write about most often?

Poetry is always now. Fiction is always once upon a time.
