Are you someone who enjoys Epic Poetry, but you wish that there were women in them that weren't antagonists or damsels in distress? Peter Gunn felt the same way, and wanting to inspire his daughter and other young women to enjoy Epic Poetry and feel related to, he set out to create a new style of Epic Poetry.

Mr. Gunn discusses his journey from the U.S. Air Force to the frontlines of modern literature. We get into our passion for epic poetry and the origins of his groundbreaking work, The Amazons. Mr. Gunn introduces us to Linked Lyrical Poetry (LLP), a demanding and innovative poetic form that links rhyming words between sentences and blends the rhythm of rap with the scope of heroic epics. He explains the inspirations behind his work, his daughter's influence, and why he believes it’s time women wield the sword in literature—not just the walking stick.

The conversation navigates themes of gender representation in classical storytelling, military culture, and literary rebellion. Mr. Gunn opens up about the literary void he discovered when searching for heroic narratives for women, and how that realization drove him to craft stories that merge masculine and feminine energies in meaningful ways. He also talks candidly about the backlash from editors, the difficulty of creating LLP, and the artistic freedom required to bring new genres into existence.

I ask Mr. Gunn about his other current and upcoming projects, and he shares his commitment to empowering readers—especially women—to defy social expectations and pursue their callings with courage.
