Allison Joseph is the author of many poetry collections, editor, professor of English and director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Southern Illinois University; Lexicon is a refreshingly genuine demonstration of passion in poetic form.
Author of the award-winning, Confessions of a Barefaced Woman, Allison Joseph, is back with her newest book, Lexicon. Lexicon explores her appreciation of language and how it affects us, for better and for worse. We were lucky enough to chat with her about creating Lexicon, her journey through poetry, what advice she would give a new writer and more.
