makalani bandele : part five

What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?

The most difficult thing about writing poetry is finding the time I need to devote to it. All the research and background reading, listening, and watching that the poem requires is time-consuming, and I often do not get the chance to write a lot of poems because of this process. I am looking forward to winning some more residencies so I will have time and isolation necessary to give all the attention required to come up with ~10 poems and invent a new poetic form.
