b'A Poet\\u2019s View with Jill Eisnaugle\\ufffc\\u2026\\n\\nQuote by Emily Dickinson\\ufffc\\n\\nPoem from Jill Eisnaugle\\ufffc \\u2013 Ship of Gold\\n\\nGuest Conversation with Jill Eisnaugle\\ufffc\\n\\nHere is a little about Jill from her website (http://www.authorsden.com/jillaeisnaugle):\\n\\n\\u201cI began writing short stories due to a second grade school assignment in 1988; I began writing poetry as the result of a seventh grade school assignment in 1994. Since that school assignment in 1994, I have written over 1,300 poems and have achieved a great deal of personal and professional success, as a result.\\nMy biggest influences in life are God, my family and my second and sixth grade teachers, Mrs. Regina Chaney of Jackson, Ohio and Mrs. Sharon Needham of Oak Hill, Ohio. Both teachers played a vital role in the path I am pursuing, today.\\n\\nMy writing inspirations are Robert Frost\\ufffc, Emily Dickinson\\ufffc, Edgar Allan Poe\\ufffc, and R.L. Stine\\ufffc, whose \\u201cGoosebumps\\u201d children\\u2019s book series (combined with the fun-nature of Sharon Needham\\u2019s Reading class), took me from being a \\u201cfair-weathered\\u201d reader to someone who has a much greater appreciation for the world of imagination that exists between two book covers.\\u201d\\n\\nShort Story prompt: Lighting the Streetlight Way\\n\\nDuring the editing process, part of our conversation with Jill was shortened for time. Jill wanted to make sure that we included this important piece to the posting and the notes\\u2026\\n\\n\\u201cAs a postscript to my interview, I would like to extend a personal thank-you to Marc Sherman, FM Operations Manager at Clear Channel Houston and afternoon disc jockey at SUNNY 99.1 (KODA-FM). Over the course of the last four years, as my friend, my mentor, my expert poem reader, and one of my biggest supporters (both in my life and my writing), Marc has played an integral part in my success. Thank you, Marc; I could not possibly have been as successful as I have been without your support! You\\u2019re simply the best.\\u201d\\n\\nRunning Time: 33 minutes 25 seconds'
