I think my brain is full of collisions and that's how I like to read and process information. I'm always comparing things and I think I do that subconsciously when I'm reading books of poetry.
Victoria ChangI definitely have favorite books by favorite poets, but poets' books also vary. I could like some books, but not like another book.
Victoria ChangHaving children can be such a gift, but it can be a crushing experience for a certain kind of mom. And I am that certain kind of mom.
Victoria ChangI've always been intrigued with the male characters in novels like 'Pride and Prejudice' such as Mr. Darcy, and this poem is part of a series of poems that explore desire and obsessions. The poems have been sitting in a drawer for a few years, so I decided to dust them off and work on them again since I have not written a new poem in more than three years. I'm not sure anything will become of the series, but at least it gives me something to work on in a period where I feel very uncreative.
