Usually form seems to find me in the process of writing a poem, though I have nothing against starting out with the form.

I would love to collaborate on a graphic novel with an artist - I'm terrible at drawing but I really love that genre.

"Confessional poetry" is another one of those labels. It goes in and out of fashion.

I also like poems that are haunted by a structure or a narrative, or poems that frisk flirtatiously at the boundary of sense.

Poetic success is when you write a poem that makes you excited and bewildered and aglow.

I write poems from dreams pretty frequently. It's limiting to think the poem has to come from a sensical lyric "I" stating things clearly or dramatically. This whole course is trying to say there are millions of ways to approach writing a poem.

Teaching is a great way to keep learning.
