Poet Interview: N.P. Odron
Getting to Know Pinoy Indie Authors
I truly feel Pinoy (Filipino) Indie Authors are underrated and, most times, underappreciated. In support, I am featuring interviews with Pinoy Indie Authors here on my Blog.
In addition, I have also created a Facebook Page and a Facebook Group specifically dedicated to empowering and equipping Pinoy writers to write, publish, and promote their books.

Q & A with N.P. Odron
1. When did you first start writing poetry, and what drew you to it?
As far as I remember, I was in Grade 8 when I first wrote poetry(spoken word poetry). I love how poetry shapes my emotions, how my emotions felt alive, and I think that’s what drew me into poetry.
2. Was there a particular poem or poet that first made you fall in love with poetry?
Yes, his name is Carlo Hornilla, with his piece: Adik (Ampalaya Monologues)
3. How do you decide when a poem feels “finished”?
When the words don’t come out. I don’t know if it’s just me, but my words just stop when I’m writing a poem and it just feels finished.
4. How personal is your poetry — do you see it as a form of self-expression or storytelling?
My poetry is not that personal. I see poetry in both forms.
5. Which poets or artists have influenced your voice or style the most?
My favorite poets are Carlo Hornilla(Adik), and Mai Cantillano (Sa Pagitan Kita Natagpuan), but Kim Derla has influenced my voice the most. I love how she expresses herself and I just find that my style is similar to hers.
6. How would you describe your poetic voice to someone who’s never read your work?
I don’t really know, but if someone reads my work, they might feel the joy, the grey, and the pain in my voice.
7. What do you hope readers will experience or take away from your poems?
I hope that my readers take my pain as their healing, because I believe that sometimes the only remedy for pain is another one’s pain. I hope they experience the roller coaster ride of my emotions, where they might see them as theirs.

THE INQUSITOR
In the year 2132, there are only three hundred men left on Earth. Each of us old, diseased, damaged beyond healing. There are no women. Out of nowhere, a young, virile, perfect male arrives—the Inquisitor. He demands the truth behind the Purge which massacred females in a global scale to enforce the long-delayed justice by killing the guilty. And though it pains me to no end, I am forced to remember the horror and the lunacy of the past. . . and the part he unknowingly played in it. I am Ambrose. I am Herald.
