That's hard to do! The video is fascinating. I am always interested in process :-) I love your description - "you want to go in sideways as a poet, you want to sneak in..." - that seems so at odds with the methodical logic of arriving at the poem on the page, as you describe it. Would you have been able to articulate this process <i>before writing</i>, or is this an after-the-fact account that gropes for justification around the edges of mystery? You remind me -- in a very good way -- of Dickinson's "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant -- Success in circuit lies...."James Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614935078978354375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-87477320803027877232012-01-03T16:05:43.678-06:002012-01-03T16:05:43.678-06:00Powerful and original, Irene!

It'd be a challenge writing for a younger audience, I think, but you do it gracefully and without condescension or watering your ideas down.Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.com
