Threading Verse and Prose With David Miley

Poet David Miley talks with Washington Square Review editor Melissa Ford Lucken. A former technical writer and web developer, Miley is now a multi-published writer who composes to represent reality rather than to escape it. He reflects on finding your own author voice, considers when and how to put workshop feedback to use, and emphasizes the importance of separating the artist's gaze from the subject. David Miley’s poem, The Threading Cart, appears in the Summer 2026 issue of the Washington Square Review.
