Interview with Sparkle Dragon

A bio of Joyce Crock
Born and raised in Pittsburgh Pa. Still there. Have been writing poetry on and off for the past forty or so years. A few years back, I joined the poets website, and from there met a great number of really good people. We exchanged a lot of great ideas and read a lot of great poetry. In the course of belonging to that site, I joined a group called the Inner Circle of Poets. The purpose of the group was to publish books of poetry for different causes. I believe it was quite successful and three of my works are published in the first book from the Inner Circle entitled the Beauty Within. Proceeds from this book went to Breast Cancer research. Since that site disbanded I have joined a couple others, but have felt that my life has been to happy of late to write. In other words I am a poet who really only writes when going through bad times. That’s not to say that all my poetry is doom and gloom, it’s not. I write of many different things, but human emotion is probably what I am drawn to most. I’m currently working with mentally challenged adults, and they give me so much joy, It’s hard to even express the lessons I learn from them everyday. I am also in the process of trying my hand at being an entrepreneur with a store called Sparkledragon’s Magical emporium. I hope to write more in the future
