If I begin a poem, "I am a donkey," reason kicks in and says, "She is taking on the persona of a donkey." But if I write, "I have taken so many drugs I can't see my feet," the tendency is to take that as a confession on the part of the poet. Maybe that doesn't matter. I'd almost prefer for it to be the other way round.
Matthea HarveyI am charmed by concrete poetry (but it's very hard to do well, I think) and in general by the idea of mixing the visual and the textual.
Matthea HarveyI'm interested in concrete poems - anything that complicates the line between the written and the visual.
