Initially I just started to write, as most poets do, but very early on I realised that a central theme was emerging. Therefore, after maybe three or four poems I consciously started to craft a concept rather than writing randomly about various subjects. I see this collection as having a spinal cord – each poem a vertebrae with some sort of connection to the central theme, or for the sake of continuing the analogy, the brain. To answer the question, I didn’t consciously set out to write a conceptual collection – that was entirely subconscious.
