What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?
Everything! If I think about it, I find it incredible that anyone even tries. There are so many variables. How will it start? How long will the lines be? Will there be stanzas? Will there be rhyme? Rhythm? Metre? Shape on the page? What words will I choose? What sounds? What voice will emerge? What am I actually trying to say? How clearly should I say it? I could go on… It’s mind-boggling. And that is why it is so absorbing and so wonderful.
