Trusting your individual uniqueness challenges you to lay yourself open.
For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.
Some artists shrink from self-awareness, fearing that it will destroy their unique gifts and even their desire to create. The truth of the matter is quite opposite.
The only limits are, as always, those of vision.
Ultimately I have learned more about poetry, from music and magic than from literature.
My earliest poems sing of the absolute necessity of allowing love to invade and pervade one's life. That can make the miracle happen in reality. Try it.
