Poet Spotlight: Interview with Associated Content Producer, C-Love

If the work of a talented poet has ever caught your attention here on Associated Content, you know just how much their words can captivate, uplift, inspire and enlighten. While poets do not always get the recognition they deserve for their ability to impact others, they tend to leave imprints on hearts and minds that can last a lifetime. I have run across several of these exceptionally gifted individuals since I've been writing for AC, and one that stands out in my mind has aptly chosen the name "C-Love" for herself.

A native of Austin, Texas and honors graduate of the University of Texas with degrees in both journalism and public relations, C-Love describes writing as "a powerful way to express thoughts, touch lives and give voice to controversial issues." She is a single mother who lives with her teenage daughter and her "rambunctious" miniature schnauzer. She is also an avid sports fan and is never ashamed to root for her favorite NBA team - the Los Angeles Lakers - in the heart of Spurs country!

C-Love is beautiful, witty and multidimensional. One minute she may be working out at the gym; the next, succumbing to one of her biggest temptations - tapioca pudding. You may find her at a live sporting event or at her church, where she is a proud member of the Praise Team, which celebrates the glory of God and the gift of life through song. But fortunately for Associated Content, C-Love also takes the time to share her poetry with fellow writers and readers. And those who are familiar with her work know that she never disappoints.

I recently interviewed C-Love so that I could learn a little more about her.

Dr. M: In your poem, "Revolutionize Yourself", you urge readers: "Step out, take a chance, roll the dice. Taking risks will change your life." What is the greatest risk that you have ever taken in your life and what was the end result?
