I’ve always loved how poetry can have multiple meanings to each person, and it fascinates me what people can find in poetry, whether or not the author intended it. […]

Reading through other posts put up this week, I saw that Henry actually mentioned the same thing I’ve been thinking in […]

The poems in this book revolve around themes of childhood, race, and v […]

So much that I wonder why I’m not interested in being a musician. My oldest memories of music involve family movie nights and my […]

It was a book I used in my first creative writing workshop back in 2013: In the Palm of Your Hand: The Poet’s Portable Workshop by Steve Kowit. In it, I rediscovered a poem I had liked. After reading the poem and Kowit…[Read more]

In the past, I had a habit of reading poems in my head. I might be able to “hear” the words in my mind, but I’ll notice more of the creativity in sound when I read it out loud.

But this morning, I was reminded of something else. I had…[Read more]

I think it’s awesome you’re pushing yourself and wish you the best of luck with your submission! Your work is beautiful – I’m confident you’ll get somewhere with it.

I’ve also promised myself to work […]

Your post reminded me of something I do to help myself in this situation and others. Probably more often than writer’s block, I struggle with motivation. (The combination of the two is even worse.) […]

The poem was “Death (as a Woman) Comes for the Draughtsman” on page 54. I remember we […]

You are most definitely not the only one there. Reading your post was, in some ways, like reading my own thoughts over the last few years. I keep thinking that one day I’ll have it all figured out. I k […]

I hadn’t been able to take any […]

I agree with Julia’s appreciation for this post. It reminded me of my own writing, and the habits I still struggle to shake off a bit. Visual descriptions are something I tend to lean heavily on. W […]

Can words be paired in a way […]

Though I had considered possible spots for shelter (looking for both shelter from bad weather and from watching people), I mostly noticed how it made me generally feel. Because I was looking for shelter, I was looking u…[Read more]

It is certainly a slow read; long and heavy. However, I do enjoy the language. It’s wonderful overall, but every so often there’s a moment when I pause and reread a piece of the language I especially like. It…[Read more]
