Donovan Woods

Donovan Woods (https://www.donovanwoods.net) is the master of the pull quote when it comes to the songwriting process. His words are wise counsel for any songwriter. To wit: "A good song asks questions rather than provides wisdom," and "When I have writer's block, it's because I'm not reading enough." I'll quibble slightly with the latter quote only because I cannot imagine Woods getting writer's block: the last three minutes of this episode are nothing but Woods listing all the authors who inspire him. And that includes the iconic poet Paul Muldoon, a recent guest (https://www.songwritersonpodcast.com/...) on this show whom Woods and I spend a few minutes swooning over. The latest EP by Donovan Woods is Squander Your Gifts. (https://donovanwoodsada.lnk.to/Squand...)
