Meet PVWW's Intern: Cressida Richards!
A Mini-Interview with Cressida RichardsTell us about you! I am a poet from a teeny-tiny town in Connecticut called Wilton. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing in December of 2018. I am an avid bird-watcher, coffee-drinker, and novel-reader. When did you know you wanted to be a writer? I have always loved to read and I think that, naturally, I began to wonder if I could write something someone might like to read, too. What do you write? What are you working on now? I write poetry about family dynamics and habitats, with a grounding in avian imagery and behavior. Currently, I am writing a poem about magpies, who, amazingly, are one of only a few non-mammals on earth who can recognize themselves in mirrors. What's your favorite book of all-time? What was the last book you read? My favorite book of all time is My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. The last books I read were Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris, and a collection of poetry by Daniel Hall called Under Sleep— both were phenomenal. What's one thing you're excited about? The spring!

Welcome, Cressida. You’ve joined an excellent organization. (And I know Wilton, CT. I wrote a piece about a colonial home there for Early American Life magazine.)
