I think all poetry is accessible in a certain sense if you spend enough time with it.

In my own writing, I've mostly abandoned end-rhyme, but wordplay is still a huge part of my process.

What I like about prose poems is that they seem to make people uncomfortable - people want to define them, justify them, attack them. Prose poems are natural fence-sitters.

I thought that perhaps if the sky was truly free of clouds and any other distractions (birds, kites, skywriting), we could see if there was something else out there. I wasn't really raised in any religion (in England I attended an Anglican school and went to a Methodist church, but I left that all behind at the age of eight when we moved to the U.S.), but like most people, I sometimes wonder if there's anything or anyone out there.

Writing a poem is always a process of subtracting: you start with all of language available to you, and you choose a smaller field.

I think poetry involves heightened noticing or imagining as well as creating a certain made shape. On the other hand, that shape can be made just by pointing at something and saying, "That's a poem".

I certainly believe you can write a narrative lyric or a lyrical narrative - why not a nyric or a larrative?
