Poetry is a creative endeavor not often thought about as "mainstream" but Mark recently sat down at a coffee shop with Dr. Jones to discuss poetry, context, finding that creative drive and so much more! Her perspective on finding the balance between art and passion is incredible and such a blessing. Poets have social responsibility when putting pen to paper and Dr. Jones gives her unique perspective on providing a "pocket of happiness" when finding words that fit together.
