Interview With Author Trista Woojin
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Trista Woojin writes dark, sometimes provocative (and occasionally bizarre, stream-of-consciousness-style) poetry (yes, most of her works do rhyme) about cracked, fragmented, broken and twisted worlds, fictional killers, imaginary cannibalistic dinner parties, broken dreams, lullabies of the cosmos, sapient stars becoming black holes, drifting through fog, apocalyptic ponderings, abandoned places, questions that cannot be answered, fantasy creatures and much more. She currently resides in Texas, is fueled by copious amounts of coffee and owns a tuxedo cat named Twinkie. Though she started writing poetry decades ago, while she was in high-school, “Aeternitas” is her first published collection (she just never bothered to consider publication in the past) and “Cacaphony” is its indirect successor.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest collection is called Cacophony. I’m not really inspired by anything but random ideas that pop into my head, like “I wonder what a star would think about before it goes supernova and starts destroying worlds.”
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yeah, I suppose I do: I cannot write during the day, or without coffee.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I would say Lovecraft and TS Eliot are my two favorite poets, if nothing else.
What are you working on now?
I’m slowly working on my third collection.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
No matter what anyone says, do not give up.
