How important is our poetry?
“The words you speak
you live in.” —Hafiz
Yes, we arechoosing words. But when we’re deep in the process of writing, they are partlychoosing us, too. Without measuring each move, we accrue sounds, rhythms,meanings, connotations, and so much more along the way. Each of us and our words are buildingsomething, the poem. It’s a makeshift hut we’re constructing in that first draft. Somewhere in our messy construction site is the real poem,or the path to it, and our job is to find it.
Please comejoin us for the workshop!
