6:41 / Fall into Poetry with Poets / donalee Moulton

Returning to The Write Focus podcast, this time to talk poetry and fiction,

 is Canadian writer donalee Moulton. 

We talk free verse vs. pure verse, twilight creativity, the benefits of poetry to our writing and to our souls, and many more topics.

We also consider the dilemma facing many writers. It’s the question Am I spreading myself too thin by pursuing many different types of writing, or does pursuing poetry and fiction and different genres keep me fresh? Is there an easy answer to this?

donalee Moulton’s first mystery book Hung out to Die was published in 2023. A historical mystery, Conflagration!, was published in 2024. It won the 2024 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense (Historical Fiction). Her newest release is Melt.

 A short story “Swan Song” was one of 21 selected for publication in Cold Canadian Crime. It was shortlisted for an Award of Excellence. Other short stories have been published in numerous magazines, journals, and anthologies. donalee’s short story “Troubled Water” was shortlisted for a 2024 Derringer Award and a 2024 Award of Excellence from the Crime Writers of Canada.  

 donalee is an award-winning freelance journalist. She has written articles for print and online publications across North America including The Globe and MailChatelaine, Lawyer’s Daily, National Post, and Canadian Business.

 As well, donalee is the author of The Thong Principle: Saying What You Mean and Meaning What You Say and co-authored the book, Celebrity Court CasesTrials of the Rich and Famous.
