I'm much more capable of cutting back than of expanding. I've gotten very surgical about poems.
I love stories, but writing fiction is another craft and I don't feel as if I have it.
Keep growing. Stay awake. Beware of gurus. Keep a low overhead.
I think we're always most interested in the things we're doing right now.
Poetry is a tree with very deep roots and while there may be excitement about this or that new little branch, you're not going to make anything original by just doing whatever's being rewarded at the moment.
After I started publishing poetry I got to teach creative writing. Eventually I was promoted and even got tenure. But then I felt compelled to drop everything and move. But I've been teaching for a long time. More than four decades.
