How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?
My poetry process is a lot different from my prose process. A lot of my fictional prose is edited in whichever fiction workshop I’m taking, or through a group of close writer friends that I have. We message each other to ask for advice and occasionally meet up to chat about our work among other things. On the other hand, I don’t seem to share my poetry as often. It’s not so much an issue of insecurity as an issue of intimacy. I’m not afraid to share my work, it’s just that many of my poems seem so intimate that I like to be with them by myself for a while, maybe for too long.
