How do you know when a poem is finished?
My knowing when a poem I have been working on for several weeks is done is when it closes itself to me. Whatever feels undone I write in another poem. I start the poem over again from a new setting, era, persona, as if I was not really done with what I was trying to get that poem to say. New title, new research. Note taking. Yet, it is not a revision either.
