Charles Jensen : part five

How does a poem begin?

I usually hear it in my head-voice. It’s hard to explain, but I can tell the difference between the sound of a thought and the sound of a poem. The voice of a poem has a confidence and authority to it that I don’t experience in my usual thinking. It feels organized, if that makes sense. That’s when I know to start writing things down.
