What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?
Finding readers. A lot of poetry seems to fall into a big fat wide silence.
50 years later
he sends
out words &
they barely come back
no answer no other
words only a small voice
small & dampened
talking to itself
An almost bewildering number of writers appear by the day. Sites such as the ones that rob mclennan runs produce torrents of new writing. The wide and growing activity has got to be heartening, yet where are the readers? How to respond to the writing? Who can deal with the enormity?
