Life's major challenge: getting reborn often enough.
For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.
Ultimately I have learned more about poetry, from music and magic than from literature.
In the world of poetry there are would-be poets, workshop poets, promising poets, lovesick poets, university poets, and a few real poets.
I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
Trusting your individual uniqueness challenges you to lay yourself open.
