![]() Whether you are a practicing poet yourself, an interested reader of poetry, or both, having access to the inner workings of a poem by seeing the poem from the writer’s point of view will sharpen your abilities as a poet and add to your appreciation as a reader. ![]() We are mostly thinking about how to keep the poem alive by advancing it line by line, and eventually, how to find an interesting place to stop. What’s going on in the poet’s mind when he or she is actually composing a poem? Is it Life and Death? Beauty? Truth? The Environment? I think the answer for me and many other poets is that there is no room in our heads for such big, capitalized subjects when a poem is underway. I’ll pull from decades as a literature and poetry professor and tackle many of the enduring questions around how to create and write poetry. ![]() Please join me for this live, three-hour poetry session.
