Brian Kirven is a poet, traveler, and teacher living in Point Reyes Station in Northern California. He's the author of Shorelines: A Traveler Comes Home to the Tide Zone. He's served as a California Poet in the Schools, as well as the Poetry Inside Out program, and hosted a radio show on KWMR in Point Reyes for many years. His poetry has been featured in numerous literary journals, including California Quarterly, Inverness Almanac, The Kerf, West Marin Review, and most recently, the Haight Ashbury Literary Journal. His work is rooted in a deep sense of place and connection to nature. Our conversation focuses on his writing process, his sources of inspiration, and his teaching.

For our Creativity Pro-Tip, we encourage you to explore the exercise of beautiful mistakes, as Brian shares in the episode, to closely observe the world around you and play with metaphor, even if silly and absurd, as a sense of inspiration.
