Poems can't help but be personal. Mine are certainly an accurate blueprint of the things I think about, if not a record of my daily life.
Matthea HarveyI don't see much difference between prose poems and flash fiction (I've often taught the latter as the former), but then I also don't see that much difference between art and poetry.
Matthea HarveyI don't think all poems need to be written in conversational language - those are often great poems but there should also be poems of incoherent bewilderment and muddled mystery.
Matthea HarveyI am pretty interested in hybrid forms. I love graphic novels and I think there should be more graphic poems in the world.
